John: >O.K. Trying to make me commit myself, eh? :-)< No, just looking for an informed opinion…:) Like I've said before, the problem w/writing primarily for a consumer video magazine is that you seldom get to look at all the neato-keeno stuff that's the cutting edge of the market. And hey–I want to play w/the big boys/girls, too! <g> >We will still need the tape decks for input and output for 5-10 years, but the editing itself is within a year or so of being totally domintated by non-linear devices.< Have the throughput and artifacting issues I've been reading so much about on this forum been solved? Or is it that they're only evident w/mid-level equipment (i.e., equipment that small businesses/ individuals can afford)? Okay, let me rephrase that–I know that, if you've got all the money in the world (i.e., Spielberg, Disney), you can afford the level of computers needed for high-quality nonlinear editing. But where does that leave, say, normal television shows or industrial video? Let alone folks who are doing wedding videos or shows for public access (the readership I write to/am a part of)? Tim
