I read a while back about a program called "Moviemaker" by Interactive Video Systems (+ – $500.00) which does away with the need for a single frame system because it writes the frames directly to disk as fast as Toaster can churn them out. Evidently all that's needed is a very large hard disk drive. I'm trying to find where I put this article, where it appeared and who wrote it. Has anyone heard or had any experience with this program? Am I engaged in one of those old wild goose chases? Steve – (only able to afford white bread for toaster)

Where did you read about this Moviemaker software? I've never heard of it tho I think AsimVTR is similar in function

He really does some funny skits. His sense of humor is tremendous saying the same about his artistic talent. -Rodney Massman * On AutoPilot in Beantown, The Buckeye State *

Yes His Toons are quite good. I heard a rumour a while back that he was working on a Full Length Amy the Squirrel Toon for Video but haven't heard a peep since

Yup IVS is still talking about releasing MovieMaker, but when there sales rep called me, and I asked if it would support AGA, she asked what that was. Forrest

Kinda instils GREAT Confidence eh? Aga Whassat? Perhaps the Sales Reps are like those from Chains like the Wiz were all they know is SELL, and haven't a CLUE as to what it is they are selling. Tis a Rare Thing to find a Knowledgable salesperson in the Wiz,PC Richards,Trader Horn etc. Ask a Question and get an answer that is from outer Space. Salespeople in these stores don't LIKE people who know what they want. I love to ask a question I know the answer to to TEST salespeople before comitting, if they get my all too often "That answer is INCORRECT" I walk out of the store.

What's the difference between a compuetr sales person and a used car salesman?

A used car salesman knows when he's lying to you. 🙂 Steve

I'll bite? Is it that the Computer Salesperson's Jacket isn't as Loud as the Car Salesmans????
