Except possibly in software.  The DigiView software is excellent, the
latest version has all kinds of great features, dithering, setting a
fixed pallete, adjusting colors, number of bits/pixel, all kinds of stuff.
The only thing I've heard from A-Squared is they don't want to get into
the software business, sounded like an excuse to deliver hardware with
minimum software.

I've seen reasonable quality frame-capture with DigiView from still
framed video, though *my* VCR isn't very good at it.  A new version is
supposed to be even better.  Unless Amiga-Live! has software of the
quality of DPaint II and DigiView, I wouldn't even begin to consider
buying it instead of OR in addition to DigiView.
