There is also an older model (2001) Made by Pixela by the above desc. pix-mpgcp/u1. Its a tricky little thing to find (made and marketed only in Japan) it is USB and comes with software/drivers/etc for G3-G4 / OS9-OSX. Its as easy as iMovie is to use, though it has to be exported to add any type of effects to the movie. It is strictly an editor/converter and produces wonderful quality (inputs as Mpeg1 or Mpeg2) ..exports as pretty much whatever you want. I picked one up off a popular auction site for around 10% of its retail ($299us) list. As I understand it, I have one of the very few English translated manuals... so if anyone else has happened across one of these and needs a manual for it, email me off list. Ralph DP500 / OS9.2 soon to be DP533/133 -> 600/133 ps: I am bringing in video from a High8 to play in a Flash5 presentation (placed onto a cd-buisness card)... I need to add fades and other effects... is there a better(quality) way than from tape-> (mpeg1->DV)-> imovie-> (Qtime->image sequences)-> flash5 ? -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
