Jerry,
I'm close but not there yet. After having been through the MII fiasco with JVC
(I still have 2 $10,000. machines that don't work reliably, they would never
admit to a problem, and then quietly pulled the rug out from the mii LINE) I
guess I've developed patience (numbness?) for these situations.
Fortunately, I've been able to get the jobs out with a few workarounds. (Mainly
going to a friends studio and editing all the non-stuttering pieces together on
BetaSP.) However, if I lost a client or a job because of the problems I'd
probably be ready to storm Topeka.
What I'm hoping and praying is that Newtek finally learned a lesson and "Will
release no software before its time . . ." I'm expecting a bugfree package in
4.05 that will solve all these problems that are driving us all crazy and
keeping us here 16 hours a day, seven days a week.
As I understand it, the software that resides on the Flyer board is being
rewritten from scratch, so I'm sure that it's a major effort. It also sounds
like they are being very picky in testing.
So I guess I'll give them one more chance, and if that doesn't work I'll save
my pennies for an IMMix Videocube.
