Ready For the Masses - Video Editing With Matrox RT2000

And Action!, Continued

The RT2000 supports different formats when capturing and editing digital videos: The native DV format is the most important format for owners of DV cameras. You can also work with MPEG-2 I-frame or DVCPRO/DVCAM format. In our test we used footage from four different DV tapes. If you are capturing in DV format the data transfer rate can be up to 3.52 MB/s. A one-minute clip then requires 212 MB of your hard disk. A 60 minute DV tape makes 12.5 GB. While editing, temporary files consume additional space on the disk. That shows what huge masses of data your PC must be able to handle.
