Questions: I'm looking for a record to/rotoscope from videotape solution, and so far from what I've heard the PVR (PAR??) sounds like a good solution. I had used a friends unit called the Televeyes Pro which converted monitor output to composite. The res looked quite low, and there was what I deemed to be a lot of flicker/shimmer. Can the PVRs output be recorded on standard composite VHS inputs with respectable results? My target market is local TV commercials for a small blue-collar/tourist season town (pop 150,000). The quality requirements here aren't that high, but you still want to produce good looking output. From what I gather, the PVR stores files in a Targa or Targa-like format. Can they be edited with graphics filters after being rendered to the PVR's dedicated disk? Is there a decent app or script utility to assign filters to all sequentially numbered files? (i.e. emboss out*.tga)? Any input would be greatly appreciated. I just don't want to purchase a system and have to eat it and buy something better shortly thereafter. Thanks in advance, David Vest
