2 live video captures running at once... is this possible? Ideally we wand to have 1 VGA input as one layer and a DV input for the other, but I rekon we could use an external converter if Modul8 can't do a vga in.
But can it do 2 DV ins?
Cheers!

It is possible to have more than 1 input but you need to delve into Quicktime a little.
Excuse me but i cant remember the detail but it was something like you have to make a quicktime movie using an input component and then import it as a media file into Modul8.

It is not possible to input a vga signal into Modul8, you'll have to convert it to a video signal via a scan converter if your source doesn't have video output.
There could also be issues with using 2 firewire inputs at the same time so you may have to get a USB capture device for the 2nd source.
