Do you know how long it takes to render a 30 sec video? from one format to another? More than likely the videos came in Beta tapes and to have them converted will take a few days if not maybe a week. It depends how many videos they are putting up. Call your local tv station and ask for the production manager and do me a favor ask him or her the format they work with. Most of them use BETA tapes. Please do not try to contradict me. Just call them and see for yourself. Thanks
