Ah, okay, got it! You use the camcorder itself for the video
output/monitoring. One reason I hadn't gotten it was that :-((( my camcorder
is only one-way. That, too, is an "old" piece of equipment, bought in late
2000 -- and here in Europe, at least, at that time, for reasons I really
wonder about, it was not easy to buy a camcorder that not only input to the
computer but would also record from the computer. You could buy them, but
they were really expensive and there were few of them (maybe they're harder
to make with the PAL standard, I don't know). So, with my current setup,
using the camcorder for analog monitoring doesn't seem to be an option. So
I'll have to think about that. Maybe I'll decide to upgrade the camcorder

That sounds encouraging. Then it seems that my envisioned upgrade will
easily handle all computing power requirements. Now I just have to figure
out how to deal with the analog input/output/monitoring part and I'll be
there ...

Thanks once again, David.
