Sound on the hi-fi track, LTC on the linear one, and the linear one feeding the Ad516's time code reader. Yes, if You don't need the original sound on Your Tape it works with every VCR. Bu if You want to hear the stereo tracks and read the LTC from mono track at the same time, You will run into problems with most consumer VCR's. Most of them have no separate outputs for Hifi-Stereo and Mono tracks. I wrote: >>I've tested it. AFAIK it is a scsi.device issue but not fixed yet.<< Paul wrote: Oh, oh well. Maybe warpdrive.device is different then. I hope they support AFS, which provides partitions up to 9GB, but sadly doesn't work with MovieShop. AFS cannot work with movieshop because movieshop doesn't use any filesystem for the Audio and Video partition (this would be much too slow). They are working directly on the device level. But also warpdrive.device has this 2GB-limitation. At the moment the DRACO from MS is the only computer which overcomes this limit.
