I have a client that is a digital video segment review editor at Pixar, and he captures all the files he creates and edits on a few Firewire External Drives on his G4. Another client creates and edits all of Wells Fargo's local TV commercials and he uses FW drives as well. I'm not a video master or anything, but I know it can be done. -- ============================================================== Kyle H.
