At 30 frames per second, high-quality, full-motionanimation is achieved. In addition, the tool enables the movie loops tobe recorded directly to a VCR or Laser Disk Mastering system in realtime.Existing recording techniques either use scan rate converts whichcompromise image quality and frame recording techniques that makes thehours of realtime to record even short movie segments to a VCR.
