doh i just remembered - there's no more room in there for a new card anyhow, so i'm going to be firewireless! isn't there something called the Dazzler that will let you record video from a normal rca video in to the comp?

consider this, with DV you'll copy to harddrive. it'll take a lot of space but is a digital transfer. then you do a DV-> MPEG2 compression for dvd. for SVIdeo or compsite out, it'll go DV-> ADC to composite / svideo out -> DAC to MPEG2.

the extra ADC and DAC will lose quality. i don't know how nero transfers from to dvd from camera if it's as your play or it has to make files on harddrive before recording. if it goes to drive, the DV-MPEG2 will take more drive space. but analog in to MPEG2 will take less space.
