Re: Feb 2009 legal or not legal

Listen Devin, is this you question - "I just want to know what to do so I am not driven crazy by all these different broadcasters".

This is the answer - you will be driven crazy for THE REST OF YOUR CAREER. I have been doing this (video engineering) since 1978, and since the stone age (linear editing), "nothing" is good enough, nothing that you do is "broadcast quality" according to those that want to torment you, and charge your clients for "fixes" that you did wrong (when you have done nothing wrong).

Over the years, I have ammassed a collection of test equipment, to use to prove to these morons that there is NOTHING WRONG with my clients tapes, and to this day, with all the test gear in the world, I still have clients tapes rejected by stations for "this and that", and not conforming to the delivery requirements.

This is part of the game, and you will face this FOREVER. The only place you don't get this is on Youtube (and other internet delivery services) - but JUST WAIT. As this becomes more mainstream (and God forbid - regulated) - there will be delivery requirement, and there will be a whole new set of rules (that both you and I don't understand) that will have to be met.

You can go out and buy a HD scope for $12,000 tomorrow, and the station will reject your tape because "the editors edit system replaced the close captioning in the vertical interval, and we can't read the close captioning information". It's never over Devin.
