Abstract: The success or failure of a new videotape recording format is determined by how well it satisfies three basic criteria. These are: economic criteria (cost to purchase, operate and associated media costs; Performance criteria (editing capabilities, special effects, shuttle speeds, etc.); and market criteria (multiple suppliers, standard interchange format, installed base). In addition, each format must also be evaluated in terms of its intended application(s). The formats explored in this paper will be: D-1, D-2, DX, Type C, and Betacam SP. Through step-by-step analysis of these criteria and applications, each audience member will gain the tools necessary to draw some concrete conclusions regarding their particular format requirements which will best suit their needs today and in the future.
