Are you talking about capture or playback? These Macs were never designed to capture 640x480 at 30fps. No matter the speed of your processor or drives. At 640x480 you can grab frames, perhaps even a few frames a second.
Your best bet is to capture 320x480 at 30fps. This is pretty much the maximum. Some cannot even get this. After you have edited your video, you can export 320x480 hardware doubled. On a regular TV, you may not know the difference between this and 640x480. To use hardware doubling, set your RCA video output to 320x480. I've exported animated video this way with pretty acceptable quality. Use S-Video if you can. If this doesn't sound so hot, get a digital video camera and Firewire. _ Andrew At 7:49 AM -0800 11/2/01, Cameron Kaiser wrote: >Are people out there managing to get full NTSC 29.97fps frame rates at >640x480 out of their "classic" PCI Mac?
