it doesnt sucks as i did 10 years with it - some pramps on dat sucks , the 16 bit is what i usually run with 744 , so frankly if he get it for free and get good preamp in front -is good as anything else .
if you need buy better go with good flash recorder , then the work flow become much easier

Spaghetti Westerns, older European cinema, and a lot of Bollywood features ADR the whole picture and have a distinct lipsync offset look. To those that are use to it, I guess it is fine. Most of Western culture can't tolerate it unless their is Kung Fu going on at the same time.

I haven't noticed obvious ADR in the little Arab cinema I have seen but I am often too distracted by the subtitles to say for sure



bollywood mainly does it as India has 4 major languages ( beside the other 40 that we dont count) , so every film is dubed for different region ,
the east european is not east european at all as it came mainly from Italian cinema which was also adred for 90%.
in soviet union the the film sound designer was involved from the scratch and recorded the scratch track for all the movie , later during the proses the sound was totally replaced ( also not on every film)
Today it really depends on the fonds films have . some could deal with sync sound and some dont so go for the rut every one know .

i just said it sucks compared to the alternatives - who would go for dat over file based?

DAT is fine, but its certainly not the best choice today - I'd pick file based or even the camera as a route before DAT.

To record ADR, you're going to need a system that you can easily synchronize with a video source.

The easiest and most cost-effective solution is to record directly into a digital audio workstation such as Pro Tools, playing the video from within the DAW's timeline.

If you use a Pro Tools LE system such as an Mbox 2, you can import a quicktime video clip of the film directly into session timeline. If you create the clip using the DV/DVCpro codec, you can output the video as a DV stream via firewire. Feed the firewire output into a DV transcoder (eg. a DV camera or a Canopus ADVC110), and you'll have analogue video feeds for both the mixer's video monitor and the talent's monitor. Just be sure to callibrate the DV offset beforehand.

Be prepared for some difficulty here. Recording ambient of your location on the day of the shoot sounds simple in theory but far more difficult in practice. It usually takes the one thing productions have little of: time.

Good luck
