HDD to Digi Beta? Need help at DVinfo.net

Matt Shefford · July 31st, 2010, 10:07 PM

Hello All,

We have only done web shows for clients but now they want to invest more in their budget and make the show for TV.

My question is since I don't have the personal budget to buy a beta tape deck, what do I need to ask/provide a production house that provides transfer/dubbing to digibeta?

Do I just supply the HDD + Tape? Do they need a deck with certain components?

Matt

Edit - just sent an email to a post house here in brisbane FATS so hopefully they should be able to help me and quote me.

I think you would be dead set crazy to fork out the money for a DigiBeta deck. Good thing you can't afford it. :-)

Give ProCam DigiPost in Brisbane a call as they have all the formats to dub to and from. I think the lady there who really knows her stuff is Sheree (it's been a while since I have called). Take a pack of Tim Tams with you when you visit (she loves them).

On the other hand, congratulations on a thoroughly decent opportunity to justifiably increase your pricing! :-P
