To reiterate, from the first message to which I replied: " #: 864 S6/DeskTop Video 27-Sep-90 13:22:34 Sb: #Digitizer Advice Fm: Stephen Marano 72415,1507 To: ALL What's the best value in Amiga video digitizers for capturing and manipulating output from a VCR? " Steven then goes on to mention FrameGrabber by name and asks about less expensive alternatives. My reply: " #: 866 S6/DeskTop Video 27-Sep-90 15:37:40 Sb: #864-#Digitizer Advice You are talking apples and oranges when comparing Digi-View to FrameGrabber. Digi-View is basically a static image, slow scan digitizer. " I think we are in agreement at this point. Now Vance Schowalter jumps in. In his message: " #: 874 S6/DeskTop Video 27-Sep-90 19:26:34 Sb: #866-#Digitizer Advice Digi-View also saves in two larger file formats to allow export to hardware capable of displaying over 16 million colors in high resolution. " Further on, Mr Schowalter discusses his digitizing studio, which includes broadcast level equipment. In his last message, Mr. Schowalter accuses me of misleading newer users, of being misguided, and of having a closed mind. I am now saying to Mr. Schowalter, "Put up or shut up." I am in agreement with your assessment of the hardware, even if my math shows 354,640 pixels (I did it quickly and didn't check it.) Bill, K3OZM
