You snipped my comment. I'm saying it's legitimate to have a CONCERN
about doing this. I wouldn't dismiss it off hand as "bullshit" as you
did. I then then went on to describe my setup - using a P3 Laptop!
Oh, and it's done using HufRGB, about 800Megs/minute or 13
Megabytes/second,VERY tough for a 5400 RPM mobile drive. The function
is capture of a live two-camera shoot.
Quote "Personally I use a USB2 external
3.5" 300 gig drive and a Pinnacle 700USB to do captures on an IBM T23.
Iffy, but it gets the job done. Some high-end Macbooks are popular
for video capture and editing, as are the Intel Mac equivalents."
Nothing like taking something out of context <g>
