Actually, John, he did mention the Digital SP, but I laughed quite loudly at that point and I guess he's not a stupid salesman. <g> The thing is, I hate replacing equipment. I don't want to spend $3500-$4000 now, and then two years time, move to a higher level of animation, or suddenly get a contract to do some broadcast logos, and have to go out and get something better than I have. Does that make sense? On the other hand, having a SVHS to test render on and then pulling out the SP sounds cool, but I don't know if that's feasable. Tell me about non-frame accurate VTRs and SVHS. I've heard a couple people slam SVHS and now I'd like to hear someone support it. And what about a laser recorder? I've seen them in passing but never anything in depth. Are they good? I figured they'd be way out of my league, money wise. Are the WORM? Thanks John James
