I have a different setup, G4/450/AGP with a Dazzle DV bridge and the first thing I thought looking at your setup is that your HD is way too small. Comfortable would be with a 20-30 GB disk, depending on length of video you're going to capture. For example, 20 min of raw video takes about 5GB. You may also find exporting to Quicktime a little slow on the G3, mine took over 3 hours for a 20min Toast VCD. However, if you're going to be making short clips for the web, your setup + a little larger HD will be fine. HTH paris __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
