Re: [backstage] Embracing the torrent of online video
I can assure you that Digibeta is still widely (but decreasingly) used within the BBC, too. :-) Tapeless Production is still a work in progress. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/projects/tapeless-production/index.shtml) Yeah I saw some stuff about tapeless production when I read about Dirac last year, is it true that it is in use internally to shift some content around the BBC? - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

Some teams are using tapeless production techniques, yes. I suspect that most radio production is already tapeless, but it's still in its infancy for TV work.

RE: [backstage] Creative Archive
_ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michelle Fisher Sent: 28 March 2008 02:47 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: [backstage] Creative Archive Hi, I've just joined this list and noticed a brief reference to the BBC's Creative Archive. I've been trying to work out where that project is at. I notice the official site doesn't seem to have been updated since October 2006 (despite the site saying it would be updated with details about this [Public Value Test] assessment throughout the process: http://creativearchive.bbc.co.uk/archives/the_bbcs_plans/ http://creativearchive.bbc.co.uk/archives/the_bbcs_plans/). The last official reference I could find was in the parliamentary inquiry that resulted in the May 2007 report, New Media and Creative Industries (http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200607/cmselect/cmcumeds/509/509 02.htm), which made some recommendations about the future operation of the CA, if it were to proceed. Does anyone know the fate or future of the Creative Archive? Has it, or is it likely to be, submitted to the BBC Trust for a public value assessment? Any idea of timeframes? Was there any response to the parliamentary report? Are there any online references that I might turn to? Thanks for any heads-up you can offer.

[backstage] News 24 moves to Astra 2A...
I've been reading this week's SatCure newsletter and I noticed something interesting in the News section: BBC News 24 has moved:- From 10773 H 22 5/6 (Astra 2D) to 11954 H 27.5 2/3 (Astra 2A south beam) This has caused some receivers to lose the channel. Best advice is to reboot your Sky Digibox or to make your non-Sky receiver rescan. Full channel list here: http://www.flysat.com/tv-uk.php Now, given all the talk of cross-format rights, international rights, the 2D footprint etc... How does the Beeb think that they're going to be able to offer rightsholders geographical certainty as to where footage of sporting events, football, the F1 - the Olympics also comes to mind, remembering the last Olympics' coverage - will be viewable? the 2A south footprint is Europe-wide (http://www.astrosat.info/FAQs/Footprints/footprints.html)... This doesn't mean N24 is going encrypted, does it? FTA, on 2A... Good for the common sense movement, but I'm almost wondering as to whether the rightsholders even know about this yet! We already have the blanking when some sports stuff is shown on the live news simulcasts, surely N24 isn't just going to blank the nation's screens every time sports footage is shown? If not, how has the Beeb wangled this? (and can they do the same for other content?)

[backstage] Emails appearing twice?
I've noticed various emails appearing twice in the past day or so on the backlist list. Notably, my News 24 moves to Astra 2A has just appeared in my inbox, even though I sent it earlier today. The order of emails received is also a little confused sometimes... And is it me, or do emails always take a while to come through on the list? I don't have this problem with other lists, so I'm assuming some kind of virus scanning or background processing... What gives?
