I haven't used it, but I recall reading that JH> it does a psuedo-conversion of PAL to NTSC. That's right, the Panasonic W1 is the only prosumer grade multistandard VCR on the market. Latest prices I've seen are around $2000, but check around. I use one regularly at work. You can feed NTSC, SECAM or PAL video into the W1, and, by pressing a button, record a tape in any of those formats. You can play a tape from any of those formats, and select which format you'd like to have come out of the W1 for viewing on a monitor or dubbing to another VCR. How good is it? Well, everybody's their own best critic. VHS dubbing doesn't do ANY format any favors. The boxes that do smooth interpolation between NTSC and PAL frame and line rates are tens of thousands of dollars. A W1 dub shows some jerkeyness on smooth motion (especially animation), and a little jitter, but our corprate clients who are making a handfull of dubs of a sales piece for an overseas office seem pleased. (Actually, I can't view the results directly, since we don't have a PAL monitor. I have to "reconvert" the video back to NTSC to view, greatly exaggerating any errors.)

Lets see... I guess your first question deals with my ability to understand D2 and how it works, with further speculation on the use of D2 in the sense I applied it to the Flyer. I have 18 years in broadcasting both television and radio. I hold a First Class FCC license (broadcast engineer). I was around for the first 2 Inch Quad VTR's, B&W 1/2 inch open reel and have worked with everything on up through D1, D2, D3 and HDTV. Seen it, done it and I'm still doing it. I currently own VIDEX Corporation, which is comprised of VIDEX Film & Video Productions, VIDEX Computers, Broadcast Tape & Supply and VIDEX Broadcast Animation. Now, on to part two.... The Flyer WILL have a D2 input available this summer, with that, you will indeed have D2 quality throughput. The Media 100 (an excellent system) does not currently have a D2 input (I don't know if they plan one). Newtek has long stated that they intended to break away the Lightwave module for IBM and other platforms, way before the demise of Commodore. Hey, they gotta go on with life too. Maybe a new line of Amiga's will eventually be built by someone that has the where-with-all to put out the machine and market it. You can still get Amiga's repaired, just check the Amiga Echos and you will see plenty of third party support and people willing to repair broken systems. Spare parts are available, not really plentiful, but available. The 4000's are in enough demand so that they are still selling for $2000 to $2500, try that with a two year old PC that sold for $3000. But, alas, we must wait for new production. I still sell them, Toasters and Flyers, but I sometimes have to pick them up used and give a private warranty from my company, but they seldom break, unless they are abused. So run on out and buy a Media 100 or other system if you wish, I don't sell mail order, so you're not a potential customer. I just wanted everyone to know the Amiga/Toaster systems are down but not out. I still think there is no greater bang for the buck! Non-linear for under $20,000.00 including EVERYTHING. No extras, no add ons. Not bad for a "dead" platform. Thanks for your comments... Good luck. --- GOMail v2.0t Beta [94-0111] * Origin: The On Ramp * Ft.
