Digibeta transfer in Syd

[Paul Cook]

Hey guys,

Thought someone on here might know the best (cheapest) place in Sydney to transfer a digital file onto digibeta? Its only a 5 min music video but so far I've been quoted $220 from Diskbank inc tape and $110 from Fats inc tape. Fats seems OK but I seem to remember in the past this is something that should only cost around $50-60ish..or is that going back a ways?

Cheers

Paul

Fats charges 15 min increments; $60 probably would have covered you if you were on a contract with smaller minimums.

Is this for RAGE?

[Paul Cook]

Hi Cail,

Thanks - yes its for RAGE. So your saying it should be only $60? Kinda shits me that in the year 2012 when everything is digital the only way to get something to RAGE (with no guarantee it will even be played) is digibeta. I mean its not even so much the cost but the f@king hassle. I've either got to go in or arrange for couriers etc - Im just used to TVC's where you pay $40 and digitally send to whatever network you need. Even FreeTV let you digitally send in TVC's for review these days and dont charge you a cent. Tape is such an archaic incompitent way of doing anything...grrrr

about 160 is standard i believe.

RAGE is one of the last bastions of this, it has to do with their workflow and the way the shows are built, I believe. They get so many submissions it makes sense to standardise and force the submitters to get the piece into the correct format.
