Am sorry for the vague question. In fact you have answered me partly. Let us forget about the DI process or other grading. My main purpose is to judge my own original rushes/work without any other post. This enables me to really judge my exposure setting, my light contrast ratio decision and so on. What format would you suggest me to see the rushes from the original 16mm negatives? I have two choices - A TC tranfered DVCpro tape OR a direct positive print from the original negative. Will a DVCpro final product is inferior to the positive print film? Thanks.

Please advise if the film splicing & cementing way of editing is still relevant when DI facilities are here now? With the 16mm negative shoot, what format should I view on the rushes to judge the exact performance, tapes after TC or positive print? Thank you.
