Jonno said:I'm amazed there's anyone still using a DC30! Are there even post-Win98 drivers for it? And I don't think it will plug into any software later than Premiere 5 (though I guess it does have a standalone capture app).
A fully uncompressed capture card sounds like a must for this kind of work - there was recently a brief discussion about them in the tech forum.

By the way, the RT2000 was only DV and MPEG-2. And wasn't supported by an OS after Win2000. Wow, my head is just filled with information about obsolete crap!

My mate bought the card years ago when he was still using Win98. I think he said he downloaded the Win2K drivers that some German was selling privately. I couldn't get the drivers working on my Win2K PC at the time though unfortunately. The captures on the DC30+ looked pretty damn good too from what I remember. It's a real pitty they didn't re-compress to MPG2 very well.

Thanks for the info on the RT2000. I didn't know they were DV/MPG2 only.
