Now that I have an 8500 running, how do I use the AV capabilities? Is there special software that needs to be purchased?
Also, some time ago I saw a procedure to put the video in as the desktop picture, so you have a live action desktop, anyone remember how to do that? That sounded cool. Maybe I will have to pick up some junk camcorders with back tape mech and good video and place them in baby's room for remote monitoring! Or outside for front door security! The video ram has all slots full, so I am guessing 2 or 4 MB video ram. And there is only 24 MB system ram. I might switch the 8500 in to main service and take the 9500's 96MB and drop in the 8500... Being I am not using the full power of the dual PCI controlled 6 PCI slots of the 9500, the 8500 should do me fine. (Drop in the 150 MHz card from the 9500 as well) Cash is short so buying a G3 is out of the question at the moment. But it is something I will do soon. Probably ram first, get it all interleaved. How much ram should I get if I plan to do video capture? How large of HD's are needed? Thanks! Tom Martin 8500/120 AV 9500/150 -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
