We had a front end built for our FTP server that builds HTML pages based on
a folder's content. We host it on site and typically post h264s unless
something else is requested.
Since we do mostly spots and promos, this works pretty well.
As far as approval, we rarely send out DVDs for client approval. We have a
couple of accounts that have been advertising for ages that still prefer
DVDs, but most agencies and their clients are happy with a 640x360 h264.
It feels a little less than ideal but it beats banging out 3/4"s and waiting
until the next day for approval. It also has led to more compressed
schedules and budgets.
Maybe this Internet thing isn't so great after all...

Hi, I was wondering what everyone was doing about getting final client
sign-off on masters in this age of email & QuickTime roughcuts? I am finding
that many clients (in the regional commercial market) are totally
uninterested in supervising their edit sessions and routinely sign off on
cuts based on highly compressed QT or h264 movies. I get worried that this
puts a huge burden on the post house and the editor. If the spot doesn't
look the same on air or if the wrong ISCI code is used on a slate we no
longer have a client-side producer to double check the final output. What
procedures / policies are others using to help share some of the
responsibility?
