Quicktime has its place, but I definitely wouldn't want to use it for broadcast stuff, unless something has changed drastically that I'm not aware of. Why don't you check out an Avid or IMIX? These are digital, non-linear editing systems, and although they use compression (JPEG, I think), the output looks really good, much better than Quicktime (no comparison, really). Fast Electronics' Video Machine is slated to have a non-linear editing add on sometime soon, also. Or you could use Beta Digital, which is theoretically lossles (you can do a lot of dubs before dropout causes poserization), and supposedly is as good quality as D1. I would consider this the best solution, although it's not non-linear. John Tissavary (La Luna cie)
