Re: What tape format does your Broadcaster require?

This is really a double question. Just trying to see if there is a trend towards harddrives. For those who don't own an HDCAM or Digital Betacam, I am trying to see if there is a chance that a Hard Drive is just as good as tape.

It's obvious that commercials are a lot easier to shuttle via T1 than a full length show would be. They all end up on a server in one file format or another. Quicktime or .AVI or MPEG? I am excited to hear that someone is doing it.

In Iceland they accept DV-PAL files? Doesn't look perfect, but an FTP of a video file is pretty cool for those of us who physically cut down 500 2inch videotape commercial spot reels that had to be labeled, boxed, and shipped to TV stations in all 50 states. Good money, but not something I want to have to do again.

Can you imagine having to make several hundred copies of each "Good Eats" episode and having to ship each one to a different cable station for air? Tape duplication sucks.

I just want to know if it is going away anytime soon.
