Yeah, the savings in not having a workstation tied up with rendering can be significant. >Only problem ought to be that you can't edit or title compressed video. >Once it's in the computer, that's what gets burned on the disk, if I >understand this correctly. If you have DV equipment and use a DV editing app, workflow could go (roughly) like this: DV cam tape (FW DV) -> Mac (FW) -> capture/edit/title/etc. (iMovie, FCE, FCP, etc.) -> print back to tape -> Mac (FW) -> DV cam tape (FW) -> DV cam tape (analog) -> Instant DVD USB -> Mac (USB) -> PixieDVD (capture) -> CaptyDVD (DVD authoring) -> DVD burner The resulting mpeg files aren't easily directly editable the way are DV files but the included SW does allow for simple trim edits. hth, Dan K ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
