How stable does it have to be? Has anybody ever tried digitizing (slow-scan)
still pictures from their VCR? (With ANY digitizer.) With a digital screen 
memory that shouldn't be a problem, but what if you don't have that feature? 
Is that a hopeless situation? My VCR (Panasonic J35 - it's got 4 heads) 's
still picture LOOKS pretty stable (but a digitizer might think otherwise of 
course).
Any information you've got would be welcome - please post or mail.
