	Sell off the Mac-II, and use the money to buy yourselves a killer
Amiga system (Amiga 2000, CSA or Ronin 14 MHz 68020 card, 2 Megs of RAM, 60
Meg hard drive, DeluxePaint, Aegis Animator, Aegis VideoTitler, VideoScape-3D,
Sculpt/Animate-3D, SuperGen genlock) for something around $6000.  Then plug
the output of the SuperGen into your VHS recorder, or any other standard
video device.  PAL-compatible Amigas and genlocks are commonplace.

	By moving to the Amiga, you'll be entering a more mature software
market.  The chances of finding the software you want to do something are
higher in the Amiga market than they are *currently* in the Mac-II market,
simply because we've been around longer.  And it'll be cheaper to boot.

	Poof!

[ If you insist on keeping the Mac-II, I am led to understand that there are
vendors who make Mac-II graphics cards that output NTSC video.  They aren't
cheap, though.  I'm not sure if PAL versions are available. ]
