since the Sony CVD-1000 is not a frame-accurate _editing_ deck it won't be supported in 3ds. It's mainly meant for multimedia presentations/playback, isn't it? The cheapest frame-accurate deck is the Sanyo GVR-S950 at $2995 retail and it includes a built-in vtr controller. All you'd need would be a framebuffer to accomplish frame-by-frame animation. About a $4000 investment. Read the other threads on this forum – there's a lot of fuss about motion JPEG cards which will do realtime recording of 24-bit animations from disk to any recording vtr (including yours) without the need for a framebuffer, vtr controller or editing deck.
