In the March issue of Modern Electronics magazine there's a short
description of a Motorola chip, MC1378, that's supposed to do
genlocking via synchonization.  They say it has special provisions
to handle VCR jitter.

Has anyone investigated this chip or know anything more about it?

I'm wondering how difficult/expensive it might be to stabilize the
output from a VHS VCR so that better copies might be possible.

Does this sound like the right approach?
