I am just a beginner with DVI, but I will try to tackle this one.  

The DVI boards you get for a PC allow you to do edit-quality capture
and compression.  Once you get your application working on a hard disk,
you will still need to submit your source materials (1" video tape I
believe) to be captured/compressed in the DVI lab.  My guess is that
you submit the video source material, a story board on how it fits
together, and the controlling software, but I am guessing here.  You
see, I have not got all the DVI docs yet.
