Ron, I guess my main focus is DTV. What I want to do is to use the computer to control my VCR harware, both in and out; Utilise the computers graphic capability to seamlessly add computer generated graphics(bullet lists, Clip art, Titles etc) and animations to the same video footage. Produce a final copy of "The Presentation" on Video tape for use by my client. (School, Wedding, Sport). I am trying to improve on my production overhead in time and dexterity. At the moment I must look like a "one armed paper hanger" as I manipulate two source machines, a AV mixer and the record VCR. I know I could buy an edit controller but a good one would cost as much as a computer and I would still need the Computer generated stuff. Why pay twice! However I like to be creative and there may be a devlopment into multi media in the future. I want to keep my options open (and also have fun). The only reason I have been looking at the MAC line is because my computer now is an Apple IIGS. (A very nice stable platform) and I would be able to network it to a MAC easily. I did not know that the C4000 could emulate a MAC. Does this emulation read ProDOS disks? Could be that this config would get me the best of all worlds. Thanks again for your help. -=<<<<<< Delivered by Co-Pilot v. 1.4 >>>>>>===-Andrew Letchford=–=UK=-
