And you don't need a separate sound card per capture device (in the event you have more than one). Then too there is the 'locked audio' aspect of DV (which is an area that not all analog->digital converters are the same - some are better than others) which can be important when doing the editing. > takes so much HD. Other than that, DV is a wonderful format, with no Huh? It's just 12GB/hour - quite comparable to the high quality full frame mode that MJPEG cards produce (or so I was told at one time - perhaps I was misinformed on that point though). With a (~$100) 160GB drive you can hold 12 hours of capture and still have room to do some editing/encoding and 300GB 7200rpm drives have just landed on the store shelves here. > quality loss comes from the carrier (VHS, cable) anyway, so then DV > doesn't help anything. ;). Actually it does - it prevents further degradation (no sense tossing away what little quality remains from a VHS tape you know) :) Cheers, Steven Schultz ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=5588&alloc_id=12065&op=click _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
