Response to MiniDV vs. Betacam or DVCPro

from Bryndon Smith (bryndon22@hotmail.com)
Believe it or not, you loose a lot of quality when you compress video to put it on a DVD. DIGI Beta or Beta SP are standard formats for Broadcast TV, that is the equipment they have and that is the format that their processes involve.

What you need to do is master out to your MiniDV tape and then take that to your local DUB shop (I use Lightning Dubs in Los Angeles). They can make a BetaSP copy of your MiniDV tape that you can hand off to the TV station. Good Luck!
