Well, I can tell you that since Quicktime is frame-size relative, the
smaller your quicktime frame size, the easier to capture 30-FPS. At it's
smallest size, (about the size of a postage stamp) I could swear I got
about 30 fps, no problem. This was also at 8 bit. When I switched over
to 24 bit, it slowed a bit.
Keep in mind though, that what you're talking about is the frame rate that
QUICKTIME can produce, something that the spigot has no part in. If I
were to buy one of those $5000 quicktime accellerator boards, I could get
near 30 FPS, full screen (in the mac, that's a 16" full screen, I
believe), 24-bit on any nubus capable mac. (II series, centris, quadra,
etc)
Going back to something the spigot DOES do, its 24 bit capture was
FANTASTIC! It seemed to all depend on the quality of camera you employed
(or LD, VCR, etc). For $300 (what the spigot costs approx.), I would buy
it simply for that capability.
