General Appeal For Help, Part2: Prev. left message on this bbs for any info re: "stuttering" disk-to-tape recording of animations w/ AtVista4m/3ds2.00/BCD5000 -PVW2800 (BetaSP). Got replies, noteably G. Pyros, recmmding updating the rendering ADI driver to:RDPVISTA.exp. Well,… nooooo relieeeeef! Nice try, no Havanna. Same artifact. So now I ask G. Yost and friends "Hey, guyz, any notion as to whuwhud givz?!" Is it a soft prblm? Is the ver. of the ADI driver (from ADESK-to-dealer-to me) the "one"? Could it somehow relate to using external procss. w/in the ani? Could it maybe be just video grmlins? Or, a rare strain fo Saulsalito soft-flu? If the last message was one of honest, optimistic hopefullness, this one is of ultimate frustration, w/ more than a bit of desperation. Please advise. (Could it be sun spots, irradiated gasses from Jupiter…, random hooligans from Hell?………..A BUGGGGGGG?????……………)

Theo: Can't imagine what your problem could be. We have a similar setup, with a Vista4m/3DS3/Sony Recordable LaserDisc with custom software drivers. Now that we have ruled out the driver, what else could it be? Are you initializing the Vista in any way? Don't run anything on it, don't load anything on it, verify your Autoexec.bat and Config.sys to be sure. Reboot the machine and load 3DS only, then try a Disk-to-VTR. You are using field order of 1, correct? Greg Pyros [Pyros Partnership, Inc] gpyros@pyros.com 30-Dec-93 at 5:11p PST

Greg's much more of a video expert than I am, but I can guarantee you that it's not a 3DS problem, since there are thousands of other folks doing just what you're doing with no problems. If I were you, I'd try another VTR controller, like the Diaquest rig, and see if the problem persists (it probably won't). Other than that, Greg's suggestions are very good ones. Good luck! – G
