If you go 3/4 or beta, get ready for sticker shock when you buy tape. S-VHS is not that bad if you are careful and use high-end equipment for aquisition and editing. Fox network uses it for all their ENG and by the time it ends up at your house, you can't tell the difference between it and beta shot stuff. It is probably easier, however to see a difference on graphics and things that are more color laden. But, if you can afford it go with the best – heck get D1!! ;^} Actually, another consideration is your customer base. If all your local markets are 3/4, going beta might not give a decent payback by the time you sort out/pay for format conversions. So although quality is a big factor it is not the only one to consider. wmc – via Autopilot!
