	Not really consumer grade, but Sony makes an MVR-5500 still video
recorder.  It records 25 frames or 50 fields on a video floppy disk, with
random access.  Composite and RGB in/out.  Not cheap (under $3400).
Presumably you use this to record a bunch of frames then copy them all to a
Umatic recorder (with edit controller) in one shot.  Probably get the whole
schmear for under $15k.

	I'm not really a video freak, but a friend of mine who works in the
industry recommends Discount Video Warehouse (800-323-8148) as a good place
for this kind of stuff.  Then again, he doesn't bat an eyelash at the
thought of $15k of equipment just to make video tapes.
