There's a product coming out that will act as a remote controler for your
VCR (actually, I thin it's intended for the new Sony 8mm deck that has
2 frame record).  It would interact with a special version of the rendering
software, and whenever a frame is rendered, it will record that frame to
the VCR.  I can't recall the name of the company.  But, It's a good 
alternative for someone interested in LONG animations.  Though, I'd hate
to see what'd happen if the tape jammed :-).
