Dear Everyone,
Does anyone know whether WORMs can be used to set up an A/B desktop video
editing studio? I have read about someone using a "laser deck" camcorder. I
am a beginner at desktop video and balk at the prospect of buying three
S-Video VTRs, but would be willing to shell out for an optical disk drive.
Thanks in advance!
Dan
Dan;
If you mean to use an optical disk for real time playback of color
pictures, I'm afraid you will have to wait either for MUCH higher
throughput or very efficient compression hardware. Currently, there are
some offline editing systems which use the optical drives to record real
time video, however, the video is reduced resolution (about 190 x 160) and
only 4 bits of quantizing, pretty poor.
So, for now, it's S-VHS or 8mm (my favorite).
