    I currently use a Sony EV-S700U to record my VideoScape 3D movies.
Although the VCR doesn't seem to be accurate enough to do single-frame
animation (at least not without an external controller), it is good at
combining scenes without glitches due to its flying erase head.  Because
of this (and also because it's easier) I record my scenes in real time
using ANIM files.  I then go back and use the VCR's nice stereo audio
dubbing to add the soundtrack.  Probably the biggest drawback of the
machine for most people is that it uses 8mm video cassettes, which aren't
too popular yet (except for use in camcorders).  The picture and sound
quality is quite good, however, and the price is reasonable...
