Dear friends, I'm looking for some solution how to transfer my animations to the video. At first, I would like to say that I'm no professional. I'm using the 3D Studio just for fun (computer graphic is my hobby). Now I'm looking for some CHEAP solution for rendering to the video tape. I don't need the studio quality. So I would like to ask: 1. Is there any possibility to use some hardware compression card (like Indeo) for animation output to the normal (not frame accurate) VHS or S-VHS recorder ? I read something about D/VISION produced by TouchVision Systems. 2. What is the cheapest frame-accurate S-VHS or Hi8 system ? I read about SONY Hi8 and some SANYO VTR. What is the price of such system ? I know that the good solution is to save TGAs to the DAT or optical disc and find some company which is able to transfer these images to the video. But there is one serious problem. In our country (Czech Republic) are no such companies, so I'm on my own. My last question is about the animation controller (another very expensive part). Is it possible to get/buy the description of the control protocols for SONY and SANYO machines ? I have the universal controller of my own costruction based on Z-80A processor. In the time present, I'm using this controller for my Panasonic VTRs and I want to add another protocols. Thank you for some help.
