Ruriko, is English your native language? You might want to consider going over it a few times for grammer, run together sentences, etc. As far as ideas go, you clearly made a lot of progress towards the goal. I'd say you were about half way there. The report you wrote needs more detail about hardware specifics required for "broadcast quality" video. I don't think you've answered that at all. For instance, DV is not ok for broadcasting. I think you could learn a lot if you just read through the whole B&P Photo and Video catalog, learning the names. If you never mention a Canon XL2 or something, you're not making it happen. I think you could learn a lot from calling up a video studio equipment rental store and asking them what it takes to make broadcast video. How about some budget analysis? Businesses need to know the bottom line, how much it will cost and how long. You touched on that when you mentioned encoding. Try to make the point that the original recording is enormous by mentioning how much it will get compressed, for instance 40GB per hour for Huffyuv versus about 4GB per hour for MPEG2 DVD. Describe bittorrent as a distribution method, how it takes minimal $$ outlay for serving up the video over the net. You asked if your way was the correct way to make a bid for this video contracting job. My guess is you did a decent job with the qualitative descriptive parts about codecs and video types, but you need to mix that in with hard facts, model types, costs, details. Consider suggesting that they company let you subcontract some of the job, like the encoding that could be done offsite on fast computers, saving them money on machines capable of broadcast video processing.
Just some thoughts after dinner you know. nibs
