As you seem fairly knowledgable in these things… (a bit aside from the
thread, I'm afraid…) Do you know if it is possible to control a VCR from
the Amiga in any way? Is there any way to have the Amiga read the video
coming out of the VCR, and decide where it is on the tape, and take action
based on that?
ie. if at location X on the tape, genlock this anim over the tape video,
if at location Y, then pause the VCR for 10 seconds and get some computer
input, etc… Is this what SMPTE is? Is any prosumer level VCR capable of
this? Now, back to CD-I (maybe I should call the other VD-I ))) –jp–
