Yes, It is a shame what happenned to Amiga and also how newtek didn't do as
well on the PC side
as all us Toaster owners had hoped.
They are actually selling a complete product now called the TriCaster,
available at videoguys of all places,
http://www.videoguys.com/tricaster.html
For $5,000 a complete staion in a box with live switching etc, like the
original toaster but
I would have preferred a simplier AGP type card, or 64bit PCI slot and
software for
around $1500 since I already own 2 powerful PC's that i built myself and
don't want
to be tied to proprietary hardware ever again.
Maybe the software only solution of LE6 is the way to go?
I don't know about HDV, Canopus seems to have new hardware for it, but for
just plain miniDV,
I like the software only approach but a hardware card to help encode to
mpeg2 in realtime would
be a lot helpful too. :)
TonyP, I didn't know about the offshore Bahama money bleeding, no wonder!
Has anyone written a book or made a movie on it yet, would be a nice story.
