Data Transfers

Waiting For Progress Bars To Be Full

There was a time when I spent eight hours a day transferring footage from Beta SP, DV, DVcam, DVCpro and other tape formats to a digital format to be part of a media asset management system. A 63 minute tape would take at least 63 minutes to digitise. Back in those days we moved video files in real time. When streamling live content I would wait for several hours for the program to end.
