OT- DLT- How toPosted by Scott Erickson
For DVD replication? DLT is nearly obsolete. Most DVD houses also accept a master DigiBeta or DVCAM master. If it's a delivery requirement of course, then you need to find a house which takes your master to DLT. They're out there. What a PITA!

I used to work for a DVD-Authoring company that would provide DLT mastering - but they have gone out of business. You could probably find a smaller company to help you out, since most big authoring houses don't use DVDSP but Sonic or Sony authoring systems.
Honestly, when I set up the DVD company mentioned above, we found an older DLT drive on Ebay. All you need is the drive and a SCSI connection. DVD-SP does the rest of the work for you! -Rick
To humor myself Ilooked on Ebay (http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=DLT+drive&category0=)
You can get a DLT drive for $20. Seven years ago we paid $3000 for a used one! Know I am certain you should just buy one - it will be cheaper than taking your files to another company! -Rick
