The problem, of course, is that most people don't understand the difference between a Lenco, GVG, or other decent encoder and the one-chip video game encoder the 1000 used to use…. they figure NTSC is NTSC. And the average independent (read "home") videographer who does weddings or whatever doesn't have a WFM or vectorscope so he can't easily see the mess the cheap encoders make. And without a good encoder at hand, side-by-side comparisons are impossible so they think the Amiga puts out a sloppy signal they'll just have to live with. Which of course isn't true at all. Pete

And a PLEA to all who would be "pro" graphics providers: Don't screw up the marketplace by attempting to provide less-than-broadcast-quality video to your clients. Once they are burned, they will avoid Amiga like the plague and tell two of their friends, too. It just makes it rougher on those of us who have bitten the bullet and bought good equipment. I hate to sound unkind, but this is too prevelant a problem these days to be ignored!
