Is anyone out there running the 500 or RT2000? I am about to put together a DV nle suite and after mucho research this looks like the best thing going, but it is new and was wondering if anyone had it what their platform and config was, and if they liked it? Thanks.

I'm in the same boat dude. I own a Canon Digital GL1, and I want to edit my film on the computer. I would like to spend less than what you are looking for, and I already gots Adobe Premiere. Just need a good fire wire card to input my video, edit maybe 1 hour of video,throw some FX and transitions on it, and export that baby back out to vcd, or back to the Canon GL1. Anyone out there have good stories of there firewire card?

I have been looking for the right stuff to put dv and analog on VideoCD for a couple months. The dv500 looks nice. I have not seen a capture card anywhere that has both analog and firewire inputs and outputs, a breakout box, and uses only one PCI slot. I am not saying one does not exists. I just have not found it yet and with the $900 price I wish there was a less expensive option. I do like the advantages and software listed at the web site and this will lessen the sticker shock. If anyone knows of hardware and software as versatile for less, please tell me. I will look at the Matrox RT2000. I want to run a second monitor with a PCI card that also has tvout. I have been told that my Windows 98 will let me do this. My AGP slot has a 32mb NVIDIA TNT ULTRA 4x card and I would like to avoid pulling it for a dual monitor output card. Your research choice is the same as mine. Good luck. Darryl
