jasarsenault Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 So I have just finished a doc I shot on 16mm and finished on Dvcam. What is the best way to guarantee some type of longevity. Should I make a couple DV cam versions to use to make copies down the road or should I just have DVD's that I can dub from. Would it be better to make a Digibeta or Betasp copy just to have to make dubs from this further down the road. My other option was storing the finished product on an external hard drive simply for the purpose of dubbing to any format. I guess my real question is, is there a format I should make sure I have a copy on so that I will be able to make dubs for years to come if need be?

Stuart Brereton Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I don't think that DVcam is likely to disappear anytime soon. It's well established and widely used. If it was me though, I'd keep an archive copy of my film as a data file on a DVD, and a Digibeta copy for doing dubs Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
