There *IS* such a thing as a digital freeze-frame VCR.It's a normal vcr
except in addition to a normal pause, it has a "freeze" pause also.
The freeze-pause, in effect, is a frame grabber that grabs whatever
the current __field__ (i think) has in it. At least the resoultion is
less than that of normal viewing. But it gives an absolutely rock-stable
picture with no jitter. (for picture-taking or non-realtime image
proccessing)
