Title: GSN classics on digital
Post by: dheine1971 on September 15, 2003, 03:33:34 PM

Are almost all the Game Show Network classic game shows now on digital - like DVD's or something like that. With GSN's classic game shows on digital, do the GSN monkeys use buttons on the GSN classic game show digital transfers for speed up parts on classic game shows with a touch of a button or something like that? And isn't the GSN game show classics on digital called Digelbrtra (is that the correct spelling)? I bet you can never do speed ups for movies on DVD when you watch them on DVD players.

Yes, they are in a digital format. No, they are not like DVD's.

Please have some respect for the master control operators at GSN until you have demonstrated superior knowledge of the job.

(EDIT: I'll tone this down a notch. SOME knowledge of the job.)

No, that isn't even remotely close to how they do it.

Probably not, since I don't have the first idea of what you are talking about. :)

Saying \"never\" is a good way to learn a harsh (and potentially expensive) lesson about technology.
 
But let's just say the sooner you drop the comparison between GSN's program format and a DVD, the closer you will come to understanding the technical side of all of it.

Dheine1971-

PLEASE be careful posting! Make sure you do a little archival research to see if the topic you are talking about hasn't already been posted. Otherwise, you'll make some people here very upset with you! BTW, welcome to the board!

Just for the record, the tape format they use is DigiBeta.
