VIP wanted

Ron, I did not use the S-Video output but I have been told that the VIP works
fine on S-Video. My address is:

if you would like it.

If anybody else has a VIP for sale, please tell me! I'm fed up with these
Supergen/Firecracker24 compatibility problems. Give me a simple video encoder
that doesn't care how intimate my 3000 and FC24 are! Anyone?

Aww gee, I have one but I'm not sure I want to sell it. It truly only
makes a so-so picture. Mine was personally tweaked by the designer of
the FC24 and so works better than the average VIP. I also have a
short cable as plugging the VIP directly into the back of my 3000 is
not possible. Is the VIP out of production?

Mark,
as far as I know, yes, the VIP encoder is discontinued. I'm sorry to learn of
its mediocre picture quality; I have a FC-24, I'd like to be able to get a
decent video signal out of it! Is there any other affordable video encoder out
there? Hmmm. Time to move this to AmigaArts, methinks.

I don't think you would be satisfied with the output of the VIP. It is
definitely not broadcast quality. There are other good encoders out there.

Mark,
"there are other good encoders out there" — but WHICH ONES?!?
Blaq!
Welllll, they aren't cheap. Panasonic has decent one for about 1k but I
don't know the model. What will you be recording to? Do you need
composite, s-video, Y-C or what? Most units made for the Amiga are
genlocks as well. The external Supergen should work. I assume you have the
internal model which seems to be famous for its quirks. It seems to hate
the 3000/FC24 combo. I'm not a real pro on what encoder to buy.
