For RAW SD transfers - customer supplied fast HDD or SSD
- RAW uncompressed Standard Definition transfers are VERY large in size and push the 1TB threshold. Customer provides the drive. Please add a fast HDD or SSD (M.2 SSD OK) in the package you use to send in your video master. The HDD or SSD must be of sufficient size (1TB suggested) and must be fast. Please DO NOT send an ancient or slow drive as it may take hours (or a whole day) to copy to. Sending us a slow drive or card that commits us to hours of copying will incur a fee. The drive will be PC formatted. The huge size, immense data rate and the R210 codec of the file will make video playback with consumer software media players (such as VLC) impractical, difficult or impossible. Instead, use the RAW Standard Definition (uncompressed) file in a video editing program.
