It's possible Jorge, but so far only a theoretical idea. Until the Amiga gets a shipping, working full motion digotal recorder and playback system, along with serious digital video editing software it won't happen. But – and I am quite confident about this – it will happen, it will happen…
I doubt anything has happened Jorge. Issue 2 will be hitting the newstands in about a week…Issue 3 in early May. Issue 2 has 3D as a focus of the Spotlight section, plus there is a review of Alias Sketch 1.5 and a preview of Lightwave. And the Digital Gallery…
Well, so far DMI has not yet shipped…and they have missed yet another ship date. DTV World's issue 3 has compression in the Spotlight, and unfortunetly DMI wasn't there… which means no Amiga hardware compression was present. The Mac's DigitalFilm has had its share of problems too – having been…
Issue 1 has several sources for mages in the DTV World News section… we will keep reporting on them as we go along. Lou
Thanks. I hope you get a chance to see it! Thanks for the recommendation too. Lou
Thanks (and sorry agan about the name!). Next issue has an article on multimedia presentation packages that include anim/digital video support, another on creatng demo reels, buying info of video products (vtrs, etc), plus the spotlight section is on 3D. Lou
We want to review it ourselves… and will as soon as its available
You might look in the premiere issue of Desktop Video World. There is a detailed look at the Toaster in it.
I don't know if a contest would give an accurate readership makeup figure. But if you really do want a contest – get issue one! It does have a contest in it. All you do is fill out the reader survey, mail or fax it to us and you are…

Thanks Tom. Our intention is to keep improving, and we will get deeper into subjects with each issue. We expect readers with a range of experience on different cpu's as well as actual DTV/multimedia experience. Our articles will cover various levels of expertise, as well as offering informaton on existing…
Heh! So far I've been told DTV World is "too much Amiga…" "Obviously Mac oriented" and now "tilted slightly toward IBM…". I think we got a pretty good mix if we're getting all three comments. Lou
I'm not suggesting anything. However, both Mac cards are shipping, while the DMI card isn't – yet.
Thanks Kermit! Everyone worked very very hard on it. We intend to keep making it better too. The next issue will have 3D in the Spotlight section, a look at multimedia presentation software that supports digital video, articles on buying a VTR and camcorder for DTV work, a tutorial on…
I would call Supermacs DigitalFilm and RasterOpps MoviePak significant. Both are shipping, full motion record and playback video cards. I would love one. Of course, DMI is getting closer with Digital Editmaster, which should be a serious video card… Lou
You are refering to COmputer Video, a magazine put out by Camcorder magazine. And no, this IS NOT OURS! DTV World is a info packed professional magazine. You will know it when you see it! Lou
Hmmm – the last time it was desktop video in general. Before that it was Amigavision, and the time before that it was multitasking and games… Those were over the last 2-3 years. Lou
Sorry – what old article are you refering too? Lou
A good ad rep always tries to do the best for his/her clients, but the placement might just have been luck of the draw…
Thanks Steve. The first issue is always 'special', and while we think it is quite good, it's also the baseline of where we want to go. Each issue will get better as readers respond to what they like, didn't like, want and need…. Lou
That wouldn't surprise me, although the company that does the PC COnnection also is the owner/funder of PCTV LIVE!, alive show on computers that has had several Amiga shows over teh last year. Lou
I don't know about a whole variety of other magazines – just those I work on. That's the way we do it. Lou
Computer Chronicles is a very serious, and well respected computer industry show. They tend to cover the AMiga very sparsly however, but their arguement is they cover it more then its 'market share' would generally require. I get calls from them every couple of months when they need some info…
John, I've been working on a the staff of a professional magazine(s) for almost seven years now. In all that time I have never, ever, I repeat never had a publisher or advertising type try and force any opinion of any product. Don't get me wrong – if the ad…

For those who might be interested, the premiere issue of Desktop Video World is now starting to appear. We got them in the office last week, they will be available at MacWorld Expo next week, and subscribers and newsstands should see them any time soon. Let me know what you…
Definetly not all mags John. As you know very well. Lou
I haven't read the article in Byte (didn't need to since I have an A4000 at the office anyway ;), but I know Tom is NOT anti-Amiga. He has one, uses it and likes it. He also has a Mac and PC, uses them and likes them. Evidently he found…

Well, I found yet another neat, but currently unused goodie in my closet this week. It's the A2024 monitor, the high resolution greyscale that was only available in very, very limited qualities. Anyone interested in buying it? Send offers via email P.s. it is supported by WB 3.0 directly.

Laser Disc Player
Message #79977
FOR SALE SONY 1200 Laser Disc Player RS 232, AmigaVision compatible I'm including a CAV format disc from the Cobra Command laserdisc commercial arcade game. (Just the disc, no code to run it, but you could write one yourself in the same manner I did my Dragons Lair AV game)…
I haven't seen a price lately. It was around $5500 a year or so ago…I expect it to be less now.
BTW, There is info on DTV World in the Dec issue. Lou
All you have to have for Lightwave is the 9650, the toaster and a null modem cable. Just enter some codes into the record requestor and away you go. The Transporter is software from Amazining COmputers and Video , a FL based company. It allows you to do a fair…
I've got one (9650) here on my desk. It's for a review in the premiere issue of Desktop Video World. yep, I do like it. A very nice deck for animators. Lou
Luke, The 9700 is not suitable for single frame recording with Lightwave or any other animation package. While a reasonable editing system, (with some limits on audio), the 9700 is not an animators vtr, nor does it work in the same manner as the 9650… If you need to edit…
I reported in my A4000 article in AW that Imagine would have an AGA upgrade. That information was given me by Mike Halverson of Impulse. He stated that AGA syupport would be easy and they would have the upgrade mentioned in the article… Lou Wallace
Could be. Call the Amiga World circulation folks and ask. Maybe you'll be the first! 800-441-4403 Lou
Desktop Video World is a new magazine from IDG (AmigaWorld, MacWorld, PCWorld, InfoWorld, etc.). The first issue will be on the newstands in mid d January. It is the first publication to cover the rapidly advancing DTV market from the computer point of view, embracing all major CPU platforms. The…
The Sony 9650 will be reviewed n the first issue of Desktop Video World (January). I can tell you it works quite well with Lightwave, and you should seriously consider getting the Transporter – it has a lot of features that take advantage of the 9650, including sequential framegrabbing from…
I think they are all heroic Don. One group doesn't exclude the others.
I remember it too Steve. My wife called me at the lab I worked in (in Gainesville) and told me the shuttle had exploded. I went outside and could see it from the roof of the hospital. I was depressed for months after that, and it always makes me sad…
What is your workaround?

LightWave Models Needed
Message #21377
Lightwave 3D Artist Needed Hi. I need an experienced LW modeller to create some objects for me. I am willing to pay for the work. They are not extremely difficult or complex, but I do want someone with the experience of an expert so that it won't take them long.…
You didn't mention it, but do you have one meg of chip ram in your system? If not that would be a possible problem. As for GVP cards, one of my Toasters uses the 50 mhz card and it works fine. Lou
I was getting lines in framegrabs from the 7750, which were eliminated when the output from the 7750 was pushed through a kitchen sync tbc… Lou
