DVCPRO HD to BETASP CONVERSION???

[LighthouseMedia]

Okay so here is my question I'm looking to produce a few local commercials in DVCPROHD 720P Is there anyone out there who would take the finished HD file from a disc and do a dub to BETA SP for me? Does anyone currently have a good workflow to go from HD to BETA SP, I really don't want to invest in BETA SP technology unless I absolutely have to. Anyone know of a post house that could handle something like this. I probably would do a couple of spots a month that would need conversion.

I've just cut 4 spots shot in 720 24p.
Just edit your project, then when finished, copy and paste the sequence into a SD sequence. Render and then lay to tape. I assume you have some sort of firewire to analouge convertor, Deckilink card or DVCAM or DV deck?
Just rent a Beta SP deck and pass through into that. Build the rental into your post budget....you'll be fine.
Some stations will accept also DVCAM or DVCPRO 25 tape. Just check with your local stations.

I'm equipped to do this but I'm in Hawaii. So it depends on what your turnaround time might be. It's possible to FTP a quicktime file and I can FedEx a tape. Just have to put a few seconds of bars and tones to ensure precise and proper levels.

It would go out via a Decklink SP card via component to a Sony UVW 1800 deck.

Aloha!
