Hi Everyone -
I have a potential job coming up that could involve hundreds of DV tapes that need to be converted to uncompressed DV.
Assuming they're all NTSC DV tapes, what is the expected size of an hour-long DV tape if captured uncompressed? And what is the best capture program on a PC to do this reliably? Assuming 720x480, 30fps.
Then I'll need to convert to H.264 720x480.
any suggestions for a hardware setup for this (Raid?) would be appreciated. Obviously, if I get the job, there would be money to allocate to a dedicated system for capturing and rendering these tapes.
thanks in advance!
cdm.
