Nate Downes Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Hello, Due to limits of time/budget, I'll be shooting a music video using SVHS this weekend. (no time/money to get a digital rig, or to order film for my 16mm cams) Any advice on how to preserve the quality of the shoot? I was thinking taking the master tape and transferring it immediately to the computer for editing. Then create a master mini-DV from that. Has anyone had any experience in this, and is my approach workable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Javor Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 ...those tapes don't disintegrate on touch... I've ran them though airport xray machines and metal detectors without problems... just don't view it 100 times before you transferr to hard disk...or leave it on a magnet overnight :) I would transferr it to disk, edit, and use he resulting file as the masterthen you can reexport it out as tape or DVD with no repetitive quality loss...otherwise what would you do if your master miniDV tape wore out, was set on a magnet, got wet, was eaten by the deck, etc?
