don't know, wouldn't bother. 2: If not, what widely available low-cost > options are available for video capture for a PCI Mac? Analog video, > not digital! The best solution is a PCI video capture card. Radius Video Vision was the best, then various Miro cards and other brands. 3.

Old copies of these (pro) apps are quite cheap now people have often chucked them away. Ebay, friends, fellow mac enthusiasts. Quicktime Pro and Media Cleaner would be very usefull as well. >Are there any Freeware solutions for the Mac? Yes there was a really simple capture app, from apple I believe, sorry can't remember it's name. > 4. Is this Mac capable of video editing at all, with a few inexpensive > upgrades? People were working with full screen video with Quadra 800s. Thats a 40mhz 68040 processor! Capturing the video to disk is the difficult part. You'll need fast wide SCSI (or maybe a ATA PCI card and a modern disk). To capture 640x480at 30fps you need 6mb/sec sustained. Quarter screen 320x210 will work with the stock HD. Editing and particulary rendering will crawl on a 604 era processor, but there are many hours in a day and a night. ;-) > I have 128-256 MB extra RAM on the way, and I am thinking > about a larger SCSI hard drive. think bigger faster disk and PCI capture card.
