Pavel, Have not heard this solution yet, but I just got through experimenting with it and am quite happy with the results as long as you have decided you don't need broadcast quality. Sony makes a camera that has adjustable refresh rates to sync with your screen. You can either connect it directly with a Targa board or a NTSC board or adjust it manually with no connection to your computer. It works to .4 Hz steps on the refresh rate. With a flat screen monitor, the color reproduction is amazing with no loss (IMHO). Oh, the flat screen eliminates any loss of quality at the edges and the input frame can be adjusted horizontally and vertically to match the screen with no over/undershoot. You can then render in whatever segments you have enough memory for (for smooth motion) and then edit the video tapes. I believe the medium is Beta. Not my first choice for excellent quality, but it's darned good enough for most things less than that. Chris
