Nap, what sort of performance are you getting with the setup? What's the
realtime performance like? I think the Cineform codec is the way to go and
I am not entirely convinced by the whole "native" editing thing the like
Avid is going down. Native seems to put an undue strain on the PC during
editing an limit the editing experience and requiring the user to invest in
a beefy PC to cope.
Any views having edited HDV???
