Hmm... kino was (at one point anyway), playing back on a p3 800 without dropping (assuming you weren't compiling the kernel or doing something stoopid in the background). Don't think that's still the case as we have more parallel stuff going on with playback. Good XVideo rendering is the real key to this (the p3 800 had a lowly i810 installed btw). Personally, I playback DV on a TV connected to my cam. Perfect playback the way it's intended (resplendent with correct interlace handling and proper colour handling... also ticks away nicely with very low cpu usage). The canopus can be controlled to switch between analogue input and dv playback too (just using dvcont and dvonnect for send/receive). The dv1394 stuff of the newer kernels is pretty simple to use too. Kino 0.6.3 has an option for previewing via dv1394 while you're working in the editor - 's very nice :-) Cheers, Charlie ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?
