We bought the Miro DV300 (Pinnacle) some time ago and were soon to
find out it did not work with Real products at all. The card wasn't
even recognized as a device. Real support informed me its products
(RealG2Producer etc.) do NOT support firewire input. Guess the
encoding engine is not fast enough to capture the DV stream coming
from the capture card. So buy am Winnov or an Osprey capture card
instead or wait untill Real supports DV capture cards (I hope they
will soon). If you allready bought a DV capture card you still can use
it editing AVI files (with Adobe Premiere for instance) which you can
endode to RM fileformat.

Mark.
