Posted by palman on 11/1/2003, 12:13 am, in reply to "DVD vs Beta - opinions?" once dealing with tv companies they have to have it compatible with there gear. they like ease, dont want to be messing around with differnet formats. Whilst of the footage was REALLY important they all can copy up from any format the loses and work for them have to make it worth while. if you do the math, you have a 20gb file, then you put it on to dvd, it magically shrinks to 4gb. that is all loss. I suspect the only way for you if you want to do this a lot will be to edit and master and then copy onto beta sp. but of course to do his properly and as lossless as possible, the rt2x00 isnt really teh way to go, as it doesnt work in composite --Previous Message--
