OK, so I understand your goal but still don't see what it is you have against
adding hard drive for your FxF operations. A 1 G western digital Mode 3 IDE
drive was selling last week for $560, MO. so cost can't be the issue here.
Curious about the metal tape issue and stretch. I had heard just the oposite
and have experienced some tape stretch problems with betacam SP when the tape
gets old, as in edit passes. It appears as a running or smearing of the
picture and diminished audio response from the linear tracks. This may not be
stretch but has been described by Sony rep as such. What's your opinion?
Your operation sounds impressive. Where do you work?
