I'll ask my question again, now that VV4 has HD1080

I have a JVC DVHS with firewire but no software I have will communicate with it properly. Any chance SoFo will find it in their hearts to make "print to tape" a reality for HD 1080.

Thanks

I think they are working on it but the main stumbling block is no set
standards for capture and PTT.

Already I can take still frames at HD+ resolution with my digital still camera, and if you wanted to stack frames (like Mike Figgis' "Timecode") you could create HD video with SD camcorders. Now Vegas makes it possible to edit HD, but there's one missing link, you can't easily distribute it...

It would be exciting to have the capability to originate a real HD program using consumer gear, and the D-VHS recording seems like a solution. If you're the first to do it, maybe you get to set the standard yourself?

What I mean to ask is, well we ever see capture/print support for the JVC or other Digital VHS machines. If VV4 will output 1080i DVHS is the perfect format, as Blueray looks to be very far off. And yes I understand the cross format issue, SDDV to MPEG2TS, but it couldn't be that hard. I can connect a DV camera to it and record.
