Hello, I thought this might be good place to post a message
regarding putting amiga graphics on video.

Currently, I have an Amiga 3000, DPIII, Disney Animation Studio,
Imagine, Sony Handycam TR75 ( Japanese market model) 8mm and
I plan to buy a VHS VTR.

I am wondering how other people have been putting things like animation on 
video.

I would possibly buy something like a Toaster in the future when the
3000 is supported but at the moment I would like to be able to do
a reasonable job of putting graphcs on video. I don't need to overlay
graphics over live video at the moment but intermix video and animation
on a VHS tape possibly. I have heard about RGB encoders but I need some
more information regarding the quality of their output and cost.
As well I would like some opinions on VTR's: S-VHS, Hi 8, how many
erase heads, features that are useful for handling computer generated
graphics ... 
 
I new in the game and I would like to put together at least a reasonable 
setup to experiment with.  

I would really love to hear what other people have been up to.

Thanks in advance.
