Thanks for the useful info. I am getting the bundle for $500, and I already am stuck with Media Author, so I might as well get some use out of it, and it seems to support the Cardinal. I hope in the near future to get a second PC, and to find a good buy on a Targa, while I wait for the nonlinear future. >>Also, one VBOX is kinda wierd, you need at least two.<< All of this is new to me, but I thought the Vbox could control several devices, so why would you need two? Can you explain? I thought I would be able to use it for cuts only editing, controlling 2 machines. I want to output FLICs or VFW walkthroughs to tape, using Renderize Live and 3DS, as well as use MA to cut in site shots and overlay renderings, then output it all to tape, or run on a PC. With the appropriate video equipment, will I be able to do so with the setup as described? Again, thanks very much for your advice. Since I'm new to this, I would enjoy hearing more about what you have done with this type of equipment and software, especially Mathematica, now that they are kaput (Too bad, I wanted to try out their new modeler/3d animation package).
