Hi All, I'm new to this forum and was wondering if the URSA Diamond Y Front is a good telecine for getting a 16mm answer print into a usable digital format. Also, I wasn't sure what tape stock would be best/most archival/most useful to write to: digibeta, DVcam, miniDV .... etc. My goal is to get a DVD to show people. Any advice would be much appreciate. Thanks, Jacob
