I really don't know who started the question but beware!!!! SOME CAMCORDERS DO NOT REGISTER GRAPHICS FROM THE AMIGA! I have both an A-501 Encoder and a PP's MiniGen (which work perfectly) and had an anim to record. I usually record in a 3/4" Sony but didn't have it at the time, so I grabbed my Sony V-801 Hi8 camcorder and tried to record the anim on it… Well I just saw a garbled noise in the viewfinder. Of course this is a syncing problem and happens usually when your animation is in a 640 pixels (Hi-Res) or without interlace. ALWAYS use interlace when recording graphics to Video! Also DCTV graphics and ANIMS don't work with my camcorder. If you have a TBC… no problema! Put the Amiga video thru it and then on the camcorder or VCR (that's the way I fixed the problem actually). Hope this helps… Jorge Escobar/MEGABYTE PRODUCTIONS (..and AutoPilot, of course!)
