Summary: 

I am also disappointed that the new video-8 decks do not give
us single-frame recording. I have, however, found some information
on time-lapse VTRs, namely in the May 15/87 issue of _Sound and
Video Contractor_. Here, Neil Heller of Gyyr Products, Anaheim CA,
describes his company's approach to modifying the conventional VHS
system to permit this time-lapse recording. I'm afraid I don't 
completely understand how it works, but it may prove to be a useful
tool for the computer animator. The system was originally designed for
security and surveillance systems. Does anyone have more info on these
_wee beasties_?
