I hope this doesn't sound stupid but when using DVcam, do you allocate for dailies on your budget?

Not developing any film, if using DV... so no need to allocate funds to have the rushes developed.

Maybe allocate some actual time, at the end of the day, to review what was filmed... but even that's a stretch as one can instantly check after each take, anyway.

But money? No need.

Thanks much ZenSteve.

Time, tape stock for safety dubs, deck rental for the editor.

Thanks Arnie
