I am currently in the market for a transcoder, and was wondering if
anyone had any suggestions. I have heard that the Grass Valley unit is
good, but I have little information on it (price? Does it have component
outs,YC358,etc.). I have also heard good things about the Yamashita
Engineering transcoders.
Also does anyone have recommendations on Laserdisc recorders for
computer animation (Sony LRV seems popular, but newer models are getting
higher resolution). Any responses appreciated!

Charles,
The Grass Valley transcoder is $1900, and of course it has component
out (that's what a transcoder does). The YEM units I've seen have
generally been high-res scan converters, and more bucks, although maybe
I've missed something in a mere transcoder.
I suggest you get the Sony LVR/LVS 5000A.
