You can scrap what you thought of 2 years ago. Everything has changed since then. Any 2 year old plan is obsolete and will cost you more than it is worth trying to execute. You must revise your plan according to new input. If you can't afford a $259 Canopus encoder, you are going to have to buy Pass Through DV camcorders from places that have 30 day return policies and use each one for 29 days and return for refund and then buy another and so forth and so on. kunga10 (AIM) kunga47 (Yahoo Messenger with Cross-Platform dial-up Video sans audio) On Monday, July 28, 2003, at 02:21 AM, MrWitch wrote: > I figured all this out two years ago when I thought about first doing > this.
