if you were able to capture raw data from the CCD it would be nearly
unviewable. That said.. it would be a very difficult task indeed..
considering DV's 5:1 compression ratio you would be looking at a 125Mbs data
stream which would need sufficient tweaking to make it viewable at all.
Since the CCD data stream is hardware encoded to DV you would hard pressed
to figure out a way to actually get that data down the 1394 pipe. Without
developing hardware to do this it is practically impossible.
