Response to quality

I have been working with Mini dv and dvcpro now for 3 years and my personal opinion is that it a great format.It is good,cheap and very versatile, but I think it lacks when it comes to glitchs.This is a big drawback because it can ruin most if not all of your footage and the worst thing is that they vary from big black stripes to peppery whites squares it can be a complete nightmare.I work in a tv station that relys on this on a day to day basis so you can imagine what its like when go out and do a story and you get back to edit and relise that your footage is ruined fun fun.So what weve done to minimise this is to black your tapes from start to finish with either the camera or the editing using the crash record function.If anyone has any problems regaring glitchs or anything else to do with dv or dvcpro please feel free to email me at Dwarno@yahoo.com.nz
