If you stick with standard def or don't count tape decks. I recently have been quoted anywhere from $250 - 500 per day for rental of HDCam decks.

SteveThanks for all the tips and info. Like I said in another thread recently, "If it was linear we'd be done." I miss the simplicity of making a master and letting conversion hardware take care of all the ancillary needs. I try to emulate some of that with files by outsourcing the processing of the different versions using my initial file export whenever possible. That's the main reason for my workflow choices.

I'm finding when that file is uses as the source file in AME to add pulldown the resulting file has black pillar boxes on the sides. It's like AME sees the file as really being 864x486 but the there is no video beyond the actual 720x486 video essence. Does this make any sense? In QT 7 the file displays fine with no borders. The resulting file doesn't seem completely whacked in aspect ratio but it might be a bit tall and skinny ignoring the side Pillar bars.When I open up the export settings I don't see the black wings but I do in the encode window and in the resulting file. Perhaps I need to just export a non anamorphic file and then tell AME to make it 864x486 or would it be 864x480? Oh well curious if anyone else has figured this aspect of AME out.John Moore Barking Trout Productions Studio City, CA bigfish@...
