[from a friend who isn't on usenet right now...]
I'm looking for information about getting animations off a Mac IIcx to 
videotape. I don't know much about video but I've got a customer who 
wants video and I've got to learn quick.   The quality has to be pretty good.

The animations have been built with VideoWorks II and MacroMind Director.  
I've tried using the MassMicro ColorSpace II board.  The image it produced 
wasn't that good.  The flicker caused by the interlace was pretty annoying 
and the images had the tendency to swim.  I'm wondering if the newer boards, 
like the NuVista, do a better job at getting RGB input into NTSC, or is 
trying get good video out of a Mac a waste of time?  I'm not that interested 
in frame grabbing, or a board with lots of special effects.  Genlocking 
would be nice, beyond that all I want is a good solid image.

Thanks in advance

Frank Galdes
