And what about other Amiga >frame grabbers? The Mimetics unit grabs four full fields as well. However, two fields == one frame, so you get two full frames mixed in at once. If there's motion, things get ugly. So, with the Mimetics, you have to save off the first two fields as an RGB file, then reload them and resave in whatever format you want. This is really silly, IMHO. Why not just have a "save 2/4 fields" option, and save in whatever format you need? Maybe my dev kit will get here soon, and all my troubles will end... -- J.
