Stephen, I highly recommend the Personal Animation Recorder. This is the product of choice for true professional results here at Virtually Real. It is available in both PAL and NTSC versions. Since the PAR uses it's own processor, you needn't worry about the amount of video being directed to tape. No video bandwidth is moving across your bus. With a dedicated hard drive, you can probably pick up a PAR on the street for around $2500.00. In case youre not familiar with the PAR, it fits in a full length 16 bit slot, has broadcast quality video output in both S-VHS, MII, and BetaSP, has GPI triggering, and is just simply awesome!!! 30 fps (25 fps for PAL) of full screen full motion video outputted directly to any vcr. Just hit the record button and youre ready to rock! No single frame recorders to mess with. We use the PAR with all type of programs including 3D Studio, trueSpace, Topas, Razor Pro, Premiere, and Photoshop. It accepts standard TGA files as either stills or as sequential frames of an animation. I strongly suggest you check into this option. You can't go wrong! Dean Oliver Virtually Real
