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... Adam -- "Offer me anything I ask for..." "Anything you want."
