You mean only consumer-grade/price-range VCR, right?
Anyone know a good reason why we couldn't do it with a Sony Vo-5850
(assuming we had the right interfaces)

Is a real-time tape counter (one that counts pulses on the control track)
good enough, or do I need a time-code system?
We can usually edit to one-frame accuracy with our system
(a VO-5850, VO-5800, and RM-440 edit controller, all from Sony)

If I can do this with a 5850, can someone tell me where to get
an appropriate interface/controller, or better yet, set me
in the right direction on building my own.
