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.

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!
