Hello Any opinions on what going to be the best new product on the Full Screen Full Motion Video product for the Mac? I know they are really new but perhaps there is a hipster out there with some info? SuperMacs Digital Film? Radius VideoVison? RasterOps MoviePak? NewVideos EyeQ? I am looking at Desktop Video Production, I do not have my quadra yet! Some of these are more full screen i.e. supermac than others and some have more sound ie 16 bit versus 10 bit audio. supermac is saying 50:1 NewVison is saying 160:1 compression I am way confused! any guiding light out there Madeleine Bryan 5933 West Century Ste 700 Los Angeles CA 90045 bryan@tds.com

Supermac Digital Film is a nubus board or two, $6000?, that can do 640x480 quicktime at 30 frames/sec. with stereo sound. This one was demoed at MacWorld. The quality looked VHS-ish to me. They claimed the quality depends on how much disk bandwidth you want to purchase; this *claim* makes sense technically. I have not seen the other products: RasterOps Moviepak is a daughterboard for their *TV boards, ?$2000. A brief MacWeek article said it can do full-screen quicktime at "up to 30 frames/sec". MacWeek quoted beta testers who said the quality was excellent; the "up to" part sounds troubling though. Perhaps they mean you need a quadra & a fast disk. I believe Radius VideoVision is *not* a quicktime accelerator at the present time-- it is like the 24STV, Nuvista, and other boards: It can display video in a window and capture into memory (or disk at a slow speed), but it does not do JPEG compression. It is distinguished from the 24STV in having some filtering when scaled video is displayed (??) (better quality). > There are hints that Radius may make a JPEG compressor as a daughterboard. ================ Other full frame/full speed products are Avid's, > $10K, and something from Data Translation, which cost about $10K but as of last spring did not seem to be quicktime compatible.
