Re: Recording to an external Hard Drive

Hi Allen,

Thanks for responding!... I just took the CLVS course in New Orleans and hopefully will be CLVS certified in March.

I had a few questions for you if you don't mind about depositions.

1) Do you give an audio cassette to the court reporter or do you use another format? Can you give them a copy of the DVD instead? I got rid of my cassette player about 5 years ago, thinking I would never use it again!!

2) I just bought a Phillips DVD unit that has a 160gig hard drive which can write DVDs...I am planning on using it as my primary recorder. My camera uses the P2 cards and I can record about 3 1/2 hours in standard definition. It also has a tape drive which I figure I will use if the deposition goes over 3 1/2 hours. Do you think this is feasible way to operate? How long is the average deposition?

3) I have been cold calling all the court reporters in my area.... Do you have any recommendations as far as marketing?

If you want reply to me directly at Taffypro@gmail.com

Thanks for your time!
