Hello COMP.MULTIMEDIA: Am looking for a low cost system for a Macintosh to use for low res (i.e. std. VHS) editing. I would like NOT to buy a medium end price VCR like the NEC PC-VCR. Does anyone have any experience with the VENT Video Master system? Also, though it's not computer based, does anyone have any experience with the Videonics DirectEd Plus? I guess I should clarify that we would like to, among other things, compile a "master tape" containing excerpts from a number of research scenarios on several original tapes. We would also add voice-over using an audio mixer. We would love to have frame accurate control and absolutely clean edits, but our end goal audience is not for "production" or sale but to help inform other interested researchers about some of what we are doing. Thus, accuracy to a couple of seconds and edits that aren't so great would be tolerable. In this regard, anyone have any recommendations for an editing system including a couple of VCRs and the editing controller for under $2500 total? Any advice will be welcome. David M.
