Going to Broadcast?

[Brandon Kraemer]

Brandon. You should try Extreme reach.We just switched to them and so far they are great.They also accept APPLE PRO RES

Good call... they offer services that far outreach DG. Does it look better than DG is the big question? Glad there is competition.

Now if all the local TV stations with their b.s. HD "news programs" would pull their heads out of their asses and broadcast TV spots in HD it would improve my world considerably.

90% of broadcast is trafficked via DG Fastchannel (sadly) and they accept both SD and HD (mpeg2 and H.264 respectively) file formats uploaded to their drop box server.

90% of commercials. Program deliveries are still almost exclusively videotape based, at least with the broadcast networks and major cable networks. Some even still demand both 16x9 and 4x3 versions.

Yes, obviously. Sorry, I thought we were talking about a spot not program. Guess it's where my head is at.

Even for spots, we have to indicate if the HD versions are center crop safe or not and that determines how they are down converted by the distribution service, either center cropped or letter boxed.

Sorry i too was thinking 30 second spot length not full programs.
