DV- AVI Files (For PC Users - Easy to Use for Editing)
Suitable for PC Users, these are large quality files which can simply be loaded into one's PC via a hard drive (which is by far the simplest solution). These files allow a great deal of versatility in respect of what you can with the video thereafter (i.e adjusting light levels etc).

Back-Up Archival Mini DV Tape Version
In addition to your editable AVI or Quicktime files, many clients opt for an additional archival Mini DV tape version (Max 1 hr per tape) which acts as an inavaluable alternative type of back-up source. It can also be imported into your system after the cine to dvd transfer. You'll just need access to an everyday Mini DV camcorder from which you can output your film.

Back-Up Archival DVCAM Tape Version
