Quite good, actually.  One of our overseas theater chains thinks we could save 
money by dropping 29.97 distribution because the 25 is so good.

We're currently using For-A FRC-7000s and are very pleased with them.  They 
handle subtitles and credit rolls fine.  For one of the shows, we also used a 
Shibasoku VC-31.  The Pro-bel/Digital Vision/Vistek Cifer and the Snell & 
Wilcox Alchemist HD with Ph.C. should soon be available.

TTFN,
Mark
