Hi Brian,

Short answer, on my G3/333 with firewire, I'm limited only by the
size of my hard drive from editing video full time on it. If I
could pick up a 60 or 80 gig drive for cheap, I'd be on it doing
If you G3 is IDE capable, not SCSI, adding a HD is not that
expensive. It cost me about 80$ for an 80meg. 1$ per Meg! I suppose
it is a minitower G3?That should work.
transfers and editing a lot more than on this Athlon 2500. You've
got a 266 but a bit more ram, I have 640 megs, so it might be kinda
equal. When you say 'complex' video editing, would that entail
aftereffects and high rendering things? For me, the only thing that
takes a lot of time is
I meant only doing the editing using iMovie (I don't do complex video
editing anyway!) but all of that would be done on my PowerBook G4. I
would used the G3 only to export the DV file to the VHS as explain in
the first mail with my Sony camcorder as a pass-through. That process
blocs my Powerbook, which I hate. Or I have to do it at night, which
is not funny!!
Another part of the equation is the device used to capture the VHS
to digital. I use a Sony camcorder with a pass-through meaning I
can capture VHS more or less directly to digital. It
In fact, the capture can be done from my G4. I'll used the G3 only
for exporting to VHS. But now that you say it, it may also be used
for such as it will free my G4 when I import video... With a firewire
card in the G3, I could plugged my external 200Gig FW drive and let
the G3 to the import also...
worked really well on my G3/333 and seemed pretty fast too. As far
as USB/Firewire, I'd stick with Firewire which for me was plug and
play as opposed to USB which never worked. The
I said USB/firewire because the newest PCI card available are mostly
combos with the 2 connectors on it. I would appreciate, from people
who have bought such card, a recommendation on a model that is
compatible with the Beige and 10.2/9.2.2. But adding USB at the same
time I add firewire could be a good thing anyway.
Thanks for your input.
