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
