Harry, I noticed that you are using the Sony EzV2 PC software and I would appreciate your input for the following project. I have several tapes of Hi8 video that I need to edit. The video editing is cuts only (unless we try to do something fancy) with occasional text/graphics overlays, but for the audio, I need to delete certain portions of the audio track while keeping the accompanying video. I would like to use one or more software programs and any other required equipment and accomplish this by developing edit lists that the programs can run automatically to dub new tapes from the original. Will the EzV2 software and 2 Vboxes allow me to do this? My source will be a TR-700 and I will be dubbing to a VHS VTR. I also have a EVC-100 Hi8 VTR that I could use, but I want to avoid any intermediate generations in the dub. Assuming that this works, will I need anything else to accomplish this? Also, I noticed that the software supports GPI trigger of external devices via a Vbox, but the description of the Vbox doesn't mention GPI. Is GPI and LANC the same thing? Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer. Regards, Jim Norman
