    How much loss in capturing from tape?

      Looks like the days of tape are numbered.  If they haven't already, everyone will be using tapeless formats before too long.  I have a large library of HD (miniDV format) tape.  When clients want raw footage, I copy tape-to-tape using two camcorders and send a copy of the raw footage.  That will soon be impossible, because no one will be able to play the tapes. What's left is to use CS4 to capture the tape footage directly to a hard drive or memory stick and send that. I have no idea how much loss of data there is doing that, and hope someone might have some numbers to share.

       

      Thanks.
