Well, JOhn. I think the reason of the encoder lack in the ATVista is not the desire of cahrging you more or anything. As most people have pointed here, the Truevision solution to get RGB to recordable signal is the VIDI/O nad the quality is poor than the Targa+. So anyone who spend the money to get the Vista, really don't care about the encoder. They just get a very high quality box to connect that very high quality frame buffer they just have bought to get very high quality signal for their very high quality VTR and have a very high quality tape 🙂 Most of the opinions I have heared here from most of these venerable animators and video professionals is that they don't like internal encoders (?!) Even more, I've hear that they don't like the encoders of LVRs (that could accept direct ATVista input -not Greg Pyros, of course 🙂 Don't ask me why, but I think that, if they have said this (and know a lot more of this than me) there has to be a powerfull reason to do so (or all is a complot to make us, little freshmans, to buy more -they should have a % <g>). And I think that this reason is image quality. Anyway, I will remain with the Targa+ until I take a look to DVR 🙂 BTW, any opinions of the description of this awesome new tech that is in the Truevision library at MULTIVEN? Wow! I will love to see DVR based things in action 🙂 I posted a message to hear opinons and thoughts but I choose the incorrect section (Cyberspace instead of Hardware), and it seems that nobody read it. Best regards, Ana ps.oh, I forget about the ATVista Digital. AS far as I know, it will provide you digital output to plug it to one of those those out-of-this world and very expensive digital videos that I only can see in the movie theater <g>
