[Frameworks] Shipping Hard Drive Internationally
Hi Frameworkers, I recently shot a couple hours of HD footage that I need to send to a colleague in the UK. I tried to Print to Video, but the transcoding is taking weeks on my current system. Since the project is long over due, I think my only option is to ship a hard drive with the project files on it. Anyone have experience shipping a Hard Drive with information on it from the US to UK, or somewhere similar? Does anyone know of the best way to ship this safely?

Re: [Frameworks] Shipping Hard Drive Internationally
Copy the hard drive to another hard drive. Verify that the copy works. (Toast has a utility that compares folders). Then send it off and don't worry about it. When it arrives intact, and they verify everything's there, you can delete your copy. Customs is a different matter - anything sensitive on there? -- * WHERE'S MY ARTICLE, WORLD? http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Flick_Harrison * FLICK's WEBSITE BLOG: http://www.flickharrison.com ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Hi Flick, There are no sensitive files, just project files. Any ideas about the best shipping method, USPS, UPS?

Shipping internationally with UPS/FedEx incurs additional 'brokerage' fees when it goes through customs, something that won't happen when you use your national carrier. This fee will increase depending on the value you place on the hard drive so don't be tempted to maximize the value for insurance purposes. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
