That's the nice thing about the kit I use - real time MPEG-2 output
=
(DV and
MPEG editing). You pay for it though - =A35500 for the edit cards

You're right.
This is my problem now...just not enough processing power to render

the
movie in a reasonable period of time...and if I want to convert it
t=
o MPEG-2
for DVD, then.... start the conversion and.. go to sleep...

""I see though that many of the cameras available in the

To my knowledge the availability of DVin functionality is
somewhat
limited in EUROPE not only UK due to import duty issues, a video
camera =3D one duty rate, a video camera + DV in =3D video recorder

much higher duty.

I found a magazine in my local smith's which seems good for

I bought a Sony PC110 when it first came out and have been very
