Thanks Pete D graphics card with VIVO

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Edit in realtime, we are talking NLE here it is not realtime, you will need
a production studio to do that.

I have been capturing and editing video for quite a few years and struggled
with video capture back on Pentium 200's. The Firewire connections remove
all the mucking around, they just work. I also use a video -> USB converter
for previewing from a VCR. For best results I transcode back through my
camcorder (TRV-320E). There is also some Firewire <---> video converters
that look very good, I am sure there is someone here that will point you in
the right direction there, there is also some very good "Firewire/video
capture cards" but I have never felt the need to spend the money as a basic
firewire card does the job so well. I recently (yesterday) bought a new
video card (Nvidia 6800) and did not go for the VIVO as I see no need for
it.
