John, I'm taking quite a lot of my raw video tape now and dumping it to the PAR via S-video . I can then directly edit it with Razor or just chop it up for use with rotoscoping with 3DS. While I can only fit about 6 minutes of video onto the PAR drive (plus editing room), I have been able to produce 30 min videos through Razor this way. Eliminates the Fast Machine altogether. The specs say you can get about 4 min of video per gig of hard drive space on the PVR. 4 9gig drives gives me around 2+15 hours of video space. More than enough to produce a hour video tape with editing space. All for less than $10K. What do you think? With the Alphas, rendering transitions should be superfast. I'm not familiar with the Cube system but I would think the cost is more than $10K. Later! 🙂
