Me: An avid videographer and digital video trader. Looking to find digital videos of live music, OR to transfer 0th generation master VHS, S-VHS, 8mm, hi8 footage to miniDV to halt the generational loss. I will consider making VHS copies of my videos for your SHN discs (.md5, .txt, full source info). My rules: * High quality CDRs! * High quality miniDV tapes! * No B&P grovels! * No fibre mailers! * No metered strips! * If I contact you, I send first. If you contact me, you send first. * E-mail communication regarding status of trade is key! Definitions: * minDV -- A cheap, commercially available digital video format. * master -- either a digital clone of a digital video, or you shot the video yourself. * digital video -- digital 8, miniDV, DV, DVCAM, DVPRO. * 0th generation -- see master. * clone -- A digital dub (via firewire) of a miniDV tape without any digifarts or other distortion. * generational loss -- going from an analog source to another analog source introduces video and audio degradations. VERY BAD! * full source info -- recording type (DAUD, DFOB, DSBD, etc), mic type, mic placement, deck type, conversion details.
