I wrote the original post. I just bought an old videonics MX-1 for less than
$400 on
ebay. I used one years ago and it works fine for what I want to do, that is
smooth
video transitions with no flicker and a good picture. I thought there may
have been
something out there that I could put in the palm of my hand.
