First the issues here are different between digital audio & digital
video recording, high pitch doesn't equal high level - full code
signal. Second, I see very little difference between white clipping on
analog and digital video recorders, ie it's ugly either way.
CCD Telecine like Spirit (Spirit 2K & Spirit 4K are different) do not
handle whites well IMO
(Spirit 1's are overrated machines and always have been.)

You know Anna, it might be helpful before you have a film to video
transfer done sometime to actually know something about video signals,
and ask the colorist some questions about things you don't like and
why they occur.
(if they don't answer, find someone else)
