Movies - Direct to Disk Recording


Some modern video cameras allow the user to record direct to a hard disk instead of to a tape.

Advantages of DDR over tape

  • Quicker into the edit: no need to digitise
  • The hard disks can store more than most tapes

Disadvantages of DDR over tape

  • Hard disks are more expensive than tapes
  • Hard disks fail more frequently than tapes
  • At the end of a day's shoot, does the camera operator hand the client the hard disk? Or copy the hard disk onto the client's laptop?
