Ok, that makes sense, and helps me understand the technical overhead and why that option is not available. Sounds like the best option for the overall best live capture quality still involves an analog loop (Svideo to RGB capture), unless one is willing to fund a DVI capture solution (they exist but...

Understood, but I'm not going for the best live performance, I'm doing relatively simple mixes at full DV res for DVD and broadcast work - that's the goal. I understand that Modul8 be default reserves the Firewire channel for inbound video, but if inbound video is not in use, can it be made to strea...

Yes, I've heard of those. Does the Canopus perform any compression, or is it raw DV?

Yes, I have attempted that also, and the system load is too high to manipulate multiple layers of full DV-resolution video AND record to disk simultaneously - there may be disk subsystem configurations that will handle this, but mine is stock dual 2.5Ghz PowerMac and it simply won't with standard SA...

Hey, been evaluating 2.5, looks fantastic. One question: how can I capture the output in real time? Is there a way to tell Modul8 to map the output screen/datastream to DV/firewire for capture via a second Mac? or other firewire device? Or am I limited to a DVI-to-RGB capture card loop with the inhe...
