rubypearl,
The is a completely seperate forum called the videoshoppernetwork, where you will find detailed specs for acceptable equipment. that is the site sponsored by the seven big video shop companies.
They post openings there, but without fee details, as it is an open forum. Video fees run from $35 for short jobs to $125 and up, somethimes plus travel fees, for longer and more complex jobs.
For several very detailed threads on video shopping, do a search on volition.com, where most of the video shoppers hang out.
