[sci.electronics] VCR mods.

cam@ptisea.UUCP (cameron elliott) (01/16/88)

I would like to do some inexpensive Computer-VCR animation,
and was wondering if it could be done by slowing down a VCR, and using a
DAC, (Remove the Monitor, and Format conversion equipment.).
The problem is that the VCR would need to be slowed down in orders
of magnitude.

Any ideas, suggestions?

I'd like to do the same thing, and I had an idea:
When *playing* a tape on my VCR, I can pause the picture and then advance
the picture one frame at a time.
This frame-advance feature is locked out during recording; but do you suppose
there is a way to enable it, and  do frame-at-a-time recording?
Here's hoping... Adam Levin
