John: Thanks for letting me know what Miro says! Frankly, after reading what they said, I'm sorta going "Er?". <g> >The really interesting new is that they are introducing a separate product, the DC20. It will capture 640×480 and said to be 'broadcast quality'. It will be a PCI board and will have the same design philosophy of output to NTSC rather than VGA. It will also work with the Video Mouse. Bundled software is not known but elsewhere I've seen Ulead mentioned. Est. to ship about June. Price unknown but, again elsewhere, I've seen $1,000 posted.< I'd be interested to know more myself. (Jeez, see what happens when you toil in the vineyards of low-end consumer stuff for a year? All this is happening, and *I* was being assigned reviews of $300 consumer VCRs! <g>) >One more point. We talked about supporting hardware. Min. recommended system is 486DX33. 16mb RAM (more than 16mb is not beneficial for Miro/Premiere) and 1MB Western Digital IDE (E-IDE drive actually) are sufficient. This drive will give about 20-25 minutes of video capture with sufficient room to edit. 2GB drives should give about 45 minutes worth of video. The Seagate Barracuda with Adaptec PCI 2940W SCSI adapter makes a good combo.< Really–more than 16 megs is NOT beneficial? As for processor speed, then you should be in pretty good shape w/your Pentium! Thanks for all the info, Tim
