As soon as the video enters the Amiga it is digital. Analogue video if transfered using a good quality cable loses very little and looks very good dumped to DVD. Remember that The Toaster is D2 quality.

This has to be one of the most bizzare threads ever. :-?  :-?

Just buy an A3000. It'll work with your average PC monitor.

Case closed.  :-P

True, but with today's market leaning towards DV and HDV it's kinda hard to keep up on the Toaster.

"kind hard"  how about imposible... nobody is even attempting this!

I was going to ask you why you'd bother until I saw you were American, and therefore had no RGB on your TV.

Once that's done, your Amiga has the same type of output as the average DVD player and then all that's needed is a flat panel TV to get rid of the flicker and you can probably buy that at the corner store by now.

No, you won't get rid of the flicker.

as i said earlyer....

the one that make an hw solution for the problem, and sell to others, will make millions of dollars!.....

but all is sitting on their ass whining and hoping other will do it for them.... today there are to much users and to few geeks in the amiga community..

Not just any LCD, but theoretically, a decent quality LCD-TV (with a line doubler) should handle the flicker.

Have you ever seen flicker on a flat panel TV??

If you have then you have managed to find a VERY special kind of TV... unlike any I have ever seen...

As far as I can tell, any and all flat panel TVs completely eliminate flicker.

Flicker is caused by the scanning of the electron beam in a CRT. There is no such thing in a TFT panel.

Novel at the time. Have the machines work with television sets. It is 2007 we need to have Amiga solve this problem.  Commission a company to either engineer a new video chip with XVGA output or have someone build a proper flicker fixer/scan doubler.  We as an amiga community should not have to be wiring hacks of scart, VGA adapters, etc just to see our display.  TV was a bad idea, NOW FIX IT!

a.) why does the person who owns the amiga have to fix the problem?
b.) you really think that we'll "move into the future" as soon as scandoublers are available cheaply? yes, suddenly you can buy a $15 scandoubler, and NOS will selling like crazy

You CAN get a $15 scandoubler, but they are 16-bit. Great for OCS, sucks for AGA.
