afaik nearly all networks want tape from their freelancers - certainly
here in australia none take any form of file. as for waiting for the
camera to rewind etc., get yourself a proper deck, dsr 11, m15, etc.,

from personal experience i would never shoot anything of any import to
hd without having a backup tape in the camera.
