>Does anyone have a good comparision of these two video capture/playback cards?
The PVR looks like a choice piece of equipment, but I have heard that it
doesn't work as smoothly with Adobe premiere as Razor Pro. I already have
Premiere.<
Premiere doesn't support the PAR/PVR as well as Razor Pro.
>I will primarily use the card I get for outputting 3D-Studio animations to
tape, and rendering the transitions, and integrating captured video with them
through Premiere.
Would it be worth it to go to Razor Pro? Any comments on this subject would be
appreciated.<
Probably if you end up getting the NT version it lists for $1499. Ouch.
>PS: does anyone know the approximate time it takes to convert 100 TGA frames
(640×480, 24-bit) to ANI files with the PAR or PVR? Just need to know a
"ballpark" figure for the conversion time.<
On the PAR probably about 5 seconds or so per frame. Should be faster on the
PVR since it uses the PCI bus. I don't have my PVR yet, and I sold my PAR in
May, so the times are approximate.
