We have an opportunity to sell our Beta-SP BVW75 for a good price to a post house and suddenly find ourselves wanted to evaluate alternatives at the same (or better) quality level. I have heard that Sony has released a laserdisk recorder (I think it is called the LVM-3000) in the $13-15K range. I have also heard that it takes RGB direct from the computer (like AT-Vista), transcodes it internally, records in component at Beta-SP quality, and outputs either component or composite. It sounds too good to be true. <grin>. Can anyone either confirm or deny any of these features or add to a discussion? We are not in a big hurry (have a couple of months to make a decision) but would appreciate whatever you can do to help us make our decision. Thanks! Ken Loss-Cutler
