Recently, I've been interested in setting up a digitizing system with a Digi-View and a VCR or other video source. The VCR has an excellent pause, but I was wondering what the results would be like digitizing from a video source like that. Is there any distortion or bad output I should know about? Would a color splitter compound any problems? Just how good is the output anyway? Thanks in advance.

The color splitter allows for digitizing pictures in color. One of the
problems I find is that my VCR cannot stayed paused for a long period of
time. This means that I have to use fast scans in lower resolutions if
I want color. Otherwise Black and white is the way to go (where a color
splitter is not needed) or maybe I'll go buy a LaserDisc player.

I've tried videos with "excellent pause", and they weren't good enough if they weren't digital freeze-frame. The digitized picture gets very fuzzy. The resolution gets not at all as good as with a good B/W camera.
