Wait a sec... didn't you say that it was b&w above? Actually, I haven't made
it yet, but won't it be b/&w with grays? And if you want color entered into
the picture, won't you need an encoder to translate the color (RGB) into
NTSC? And if that is the case, wouldn't you just be better off buying an
encoder and letting it do ALL the translation?

MacWeek says to use lots of color (Translation: Use lots of gray.) But isn't
the hack supposed to be able to kick out more-stable video if you use 2
color (b&w, no grays) mode? 

Sigh...
