You've been using this device?  I was led to believe that only very
expensive VCRs would allow single-frame recording with decent quality.
Questions: How stable is the resulting video image with respect to waver,
noise bars, etc, when played back at normal speed?  What technology
(VHS, Beta, etc) and make and model VCR are you using?  How does the
video sequencer interface with the VCR controls for record, stop, etc?
What do you get inside this $400 box?  Who sells it?
