[QuadList] looking for Type C to DVCam in Europe

[Ted Langdell]

Without knowing why they've chosen DVCAM, (access rather than  
preservation) it's easy to point out potential problems with DVCAM as  
a preservation medium.  It is a format that is being used for both...  
in some cases due to cost.

DVCAM in PAL, is a 4:2:0 format.

DVCPro50 is a 4:2:2 format in both NTSC and PAL, and uses Metal  
Particle tape.  Its a very thin tape, so using it as an archival  
storage format might not be the most secure means of going forward.

That still doesn't answer the question of who could do Type C PAL  
transfers in or near Portugal to any format.  Anyone have some ideas?
