Well, doing raw DV without transcoding would be fine (if it were on both platforms), since we can spare the bandwidth - that's what we're already doing via the ExtendedVideo services on Windows, but we'd like to be able to move on to something more cross-platform. Have you tried using DV4Linux so that your Camcorder can be seen as a V4L device? I haven't tried it myself. Interesting, I'll have to try that out. Would vic theoretically be able to transmit 640 (or 720)x480 video from a V4L device? As for the flashing verticle line artifacts on Windows, I don't seem them, but I was using a quad-core 2.6GHz Xeon. We've seen it here on a couple of different systems - a Dell w/ a dual-core + hyperthreading 3.46Ghz CPU, and Suns with 2x dual-core 2.2Ghz Opterons - so I doubt it's CPU-related. Can anyone else chime in if they've tried the firewire capture on Windows? --Andrew
