#Novice Goin to Video
Help! I could use the advice of anybody who is going out to video so that can
make my next purchase a wise one.
I recently bought a Targa+ with the thought of buying a SVHS deck, the Sanyo,
you know the one, but since then I have been hearing alot about the PAR as an
alternative.
I should mention that this is just a hobby for me and I have no desire to spend
$10,000 for this hardware, but creating animations for the computer, well, I
have gone about as far as I car to without creating 20 meg animations.
My concerns are:
1. Is the PAR as realiable as they say it is? No skipped frames and the
sort.
2. Do decks (The Sanyo especially) require considerable amount of
maintainence?
3. How does the quality compare. (I've read the reviews, but they seem
bias.)
4. If I purchase the PAR, do I need my Targa+, (I could use the cash I
spent on the Targa for things like food and rent.)
I plan on going one way or the other before the end of November.
