I am curious: how does the output quality compare to Quicktime video on a
Mac or similar digital video. I assume that it is pretty much the same
quality, again assuming that you are using MPEG compression, but I'd like
to hear from someone who has seen the output.

The other big question, how much does it cost?

Thanks,
