5 generations sounds like the number I've seen bantered around but I've never dealt with it first hand. It's a moot point now I'm going to output to SR and we will keep that master in house for future re purposing. Since it's a comedy special I figure the lack of generation loss will make it even funnier. I've always felt bandwidth and comic impact are directly proportional. ;-)
I suppose I could always dub it to digibeta and avoid all generation loss (inside joke from a past life.)

I've got a show shot on HDCam that will be closed captioned adding an extra generation. I prefer to output the edit master to HDCamSr and send that off as the source for the closed captioning dub to HDCam. Just curious if I'm being to anal about this. Anybody got any opinion on 3rd generation HDCam which would be the air master if I output to HDCam for the edit master before captioning?
