We skipped the whole quick take caper by using our power pc 6100/60 AV as a
video snapshot device: using "video monitor" you can just cut and paste
snapshots from live off air video, tapes or live camera stuff. We have a
VHS camcorder piped into the machine for live stuff. Cheap, clean, and easy
to work.

imho
