>A few PVR and related video questions:< >If you want to have approx 8-9 GB of storage for the PVR, is it better to buy the Micropolis 9 GB AV drive with a 12ms access time, or two Micropolis 4 GB A/V Drives with 8.5 ms access times, striped as one drive?< The PVR doesn't stripe drives as far as I know. I would get the 9GB if you want that much storage outright. >I am looking to buy a Sanyo GVR-S955 Edit Recorder, does anyone know if this unit supports audio insert editing, w/o overwriting the video track?< Not on the HiFi tracks, no SVHS recorder can do that, the Hifi tracks are under the video tracks. You can insert audio on the linear tracks, but they are mono and don't have the range of the hifi tracks. >Are there any other suggestions on which SVHS decks to buy for this purpose?< I'd skip the Sanyo since you don't need single frame recording. I'd get a JVC 5100/7100 at $600 or go with a Panasonic Ag-1970 at $1200. >Also, what type of editing monitor do you experienced people tend to use with computer/animation/video editing application. ie Adobe Premiere/Razor Pro/PVR?< The Sony PVM-1354Q is a very nice 13" monitor with underscan, blue screen, multiple inputs. Runs about $1000. A DPS V-Scope is an ISA Waveform Monitor/Vectorscope on a card that runs around $800. >I have looked into SONY monitors and Panasonic, which is the best buy for the money?< The Panasonic is nice, but I prefer Trinitrons screens. All of my monitors, computer and video, are Trinitron displays.
