Response to New Mac G3's with built-in Firewire

from Patrick (pstepp@hotmail.com)
I've been using a B&W G3/350 along with my Sony TRV900 camera and the built in Firewire. All I can say is that it's AWESOME stuff and simple to use! I use editDV (www.digitalorigin.com) which lets you control the camera right from the computer (jog, shuttle, pause, play, etc) and save it to disk. Beware, miniDV tape saves to disk at a rate near 3.7 megs per second of your, so I had to get a larger HD for my scratch disk. IBM DeskStar 22GXP (22 gig) HD. This gives the room needed to put together an hours worth of tape with some breathing room. No extra cards, no special device drivers, the thing just works. I nice thing... :-)
