Sune, Aha! Thanks! Finally, clarity in what was a real mystery to me. So it's a tax thing! Of course, it's still a mystery why they would have wanted to slap taxes on, of all things, DV-OUT, but at least that explains the strange lack of DV-OUT cameras here.
Regarding which camera I'm using, well up to now it was just an "old" Sharp from a few years back, but as a matter of fact I have to shop around for a replacement now. The only DV-OUT I've seen so far for around 500 Euros is a JVC (and it's not clear to me whether it does real-time conversion anyway). After that, looks like you head way past 1000 Euros and beyond, fine for a serious pro, of course, less so for someone not-so-pro like me. Thanks again for the illumination on the DV-OUT mystery in Europe, John --- In [email protected], "Sune Alexandersen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ahh... > Now I see your pickle. > The European Union has put some weird taxes on DV-OUT so cameras that > normally has this feature are stripped down when shipped to "our" countries. > > What camera are you using? > > Sune > > On 11 Apr 2007 04:45:39 -0700, John Favaro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Also, there is a page with Adobe's "Capture Card Partners" listed... > > > but, as Sune so eloquently stated... > > > > > > "Why not use a standard firewire card?" > > > > > > Glen in Vegas > > > > Actually, in Europe at least, my main problem is not coming *in*, but > > going > > *out*. > > > > That is, viewing on the television during editing.
