So Rich, was this a problem you encountered? May I ask what Mac you
were using at what speed?
To all, is there a way to observe the feed full screen before
recording it? In iMovie what I see takes up about a quarter of the
screen. Not too good for editing and even worse when using the Mac as
a "digital hub," and plugging other a/v sources into it. Does Final
Cut or other apps allow for full screen preview?

I'm using a Beige MT with a 466mhz G4 processor. I have a pci ATA card for
most of my drives, all of which are 7200rpm. The motherboard ide bus isn't fast
enough to prevent dropouts but the drives on the ata card are fine. I had
problems with intermitant firewire performance until I put a fan in the computer
to cool the pci cards (the Beige has a space for this.)
I'm a bit mystified by the problem Clark reported. I can't see why video
recorded to tape and played back would give better performance than straight
through digitiziing. I never saw this with my camera. I never even tried
recording to tape. The real time digitizer works just fine in both directions.
I haven't looked at iMovie in a while, but it seems to me it should almsot fill
the screen in most versions. Final Cut is completely resizeable and you can
organize the various windows wherever you please, though there are caveats about
overlapping them causing degraded video performance. I keep the canvas window
filling my seperate monitor, both driven by the Radeon 7000 video board. Works
fine.
