I'd be grateful if anyone who knows about video digitizing could give me the 
benefit of their experience.

I have a  7100/66 Powermac with 32 Mb ram, also an external 1.7 gigabyte
Micropolis Hard Drive. I  am a music composer and use the mac mainly for
writing music, using Cubase Audio XT and  Protools Project. I sometimes do
music for TV and film and I know it's possible to view a movie running in
conjunction with Cubase. I would like to be able to do this, and input
short sequences, maybe up to 1 - 1 1/2 minutes long, into the mac from a
video recorder, to which I could then create music with Cubase.(If
possible, I would then like to be able to output both music and film
together back onto video, but I'd be happy just getting the material into
the mac in the first instance)

However, although I'm very familiar with using the mac for music, I don't
know where to start with inputting video, or even if what I'm thinking of
is a worthwhile idea. I know I would have to find a video card secondhand
as they aren't made anymore for Nubus macs. I have found a Rasterops
videocolor board but don't know anything about it so if anyone has any
suggestions in this department it would be appreciated. Would I need any
additional baords or hardware?  Adobe premiere has been suggested, but
since I don't need to edit or possibly even need a high-quality image maybe
this would be over the top. Could I simply use Fusionrecorder? Is my mac
likely to be fast enough or would I somehow have to increase the speed.
What other probelms and considerations might there be?

Any help with this greatly appreciated.
cheers   Duncan
