Hello folks: I'm at the early stages of planning an editing system for tapes mainly produced on a decent SVHS camera. But possibly from other formats like Hi-8 too. Like many of you, we're talking "home" , low budget equipment here. However instead of just getting a couple SVHS/VHS decks and a controller for starters (such as Pana AG-1970's) I've had some conversations and seen some newsletter type comments suggesting editing to a 3/4" tape system. Thus allowing less generational loss when editing and then copying again. I'm assuming used equipment here. Any opinions from "real" experience out there? I realize I have to end up making a final VHS tape someway at the end. But thought I might have more flexibility and sustaining of quality going 3/4" in between. Thanks, Dick
