Re: International Spec and Standards

Point well taken, hence the posting here for those people that have had to deliver to ABC, NBC, Fox, TLC, Discovery, etc and the people that may have to deal with these companies in the future. Yes, they can take anything from the mini dv, dv-cam, dvc-pro, dvc-pro hd, through HD Cam (I could keep going if you like), but depending on what day it is, or what their tech center has deemed acceptable for that week or month, it can and will change. Hell, I still pull shots off of 3/4" tape from time to time and some clients still want a VHS tape for viewing.

Yes, I have the PBS specs, I have the Discovery/TLC specs and I have the Nat Geo specs. Why, because I am not an idiot, I am a professional. Hmm, but I do like to here what else maybe going on around the country and the world, so that I can be better prepared.

Ah, then we enter the compression schemes for making files to deliver via the web, dvd, etc. It is enough to drive a person crazy, but if I don't ask the question to others, who will give me some sort of direction. The client?

My post was to discover what some of us out there have encountered and maybe learn something from each other.

So yes, I was the hellion that has made this statement. And guess what, small minds live in their small worlds. I'd like to broaden my horizon and my world, and to get an answer, you must ask the question. No one gave you the authority to judge if the question was relevant or not. So, if you can't be part of the solution, then don't answer the question. I've encountered enough insulting people in my life, and I don't need another one. For if it wasn’t for the other people that wanted to help some of us along, I wouldn’t be 22 years in this business.
