No live streaming of Fox News? No MP3 streaming? Look, QT should have been realeased with a load of favorite presets just like Real Video has. Lots of people want to stream Fox new…
Hopefully Apple will get folks like ABC news, NBC news along with FOX New to supply QuickTime 4.0 streaming content. How about MSNBC cable?
Is QT 4.0 capable of viewing Real Au…
Does a camcorder with Analog->DV 'pass-thru" (like Sony camcorders have) achieve the same Analog->DV conversion quality as a dedicated DV converter (like Formac Studi…
Quality is the same.
The converter is more conviniate and you can prmanantly hook it
to your mac and watch your editing on a monitor or TV.
It is a budget matter only.
If you ch…
Yep...
quality's the same...
Note: not all dv camcorders will let you do the complete "pass-through" Analog->DV without copying onto a DV tape first.
I was in a similar s…
Thank you for your answers. Although I think the Formac Studio converter is super-cool, I would rather not spend the $400 on it if at all possible.
Arn, you are right, I don't wan…
Just an FYI, for those who don't know. Anyone who has a digital8 camcorder can easily put in their old Sony consumer 8 tapes and capture via DV. I think they actually work as a c…

I read a while ago that possibly some new digital cable/satellite converter boxes may have a firewire port. That would be interesting. Would impact the consumer video market and …
Canopus is a good company w/ good products. Haven't seen this one yet, but they make great RT cards, etc.

Hope this response isn't too late. The quality is the same, so if you can afford it, I would get a Sony or Canon mini-DV camcorder. Might as well have a nice camera rather than jus…
I've been using the Dazzle Hollywood bridge with great results converting analog vieo into DV. It can also convert back to analog for rrecording to tape, and also will allow the us…

I recently discovered that uncompressed DV footage takes up increadible amounts of space on a hard drive. 16 seconds is about 50+ MB! He's right, it's better just to save it to DV…
Just to throw in my 2 cents. Got the sony convertor about 6 months ago for $300 new (used is less) and it seems to be doing a bang up job. If you got the extra cash, just get a c…
