First up, I've heard the AIW 8500DV runs slower than the retail 8500 but can be overclocked to it's retail speeds. Is this true, and if so, is it difficult to do?

Secondly, what really pissed me off with my DC10+ capture card is that it would only work in it's own editing program and not in something like Premiere - will the AIW 8500DV run in other programs like Premiere?

Thirdly, is the capture quality and features as good as a stand alone capture card or is it really just for people who want to record stuff to VCD? I'm an amateur film maker and need to send it back to tape, so it needs to be fairly good quality.

Well, I'll tell you to wait a bit. ATI is already shipping a significantly faster clocked 128MB AIW R8500DV to Compaq. ATI should probably make it retail soon for the same price of the current AIW R8500DV.
