I was wondering if Yves or Boris could comment on if we can expect any improvements in the quality of video coming in through firewire in 2.5. As it is now, is the video downgraded automatically somehow according to machine spec, or is the quality of the DV signal on my powerbook the same as I'd get on a G5? Of course then how everything else slows down when using video would probably less of a problem on a faster machine...
I had someone ask me recently if I could think of any reason why when they ran a DVD player out via RCA cable into an A/D converter and into Modul8 via firewire, why the signal had more random blocky noise, wheras firewire direct from a video camera did not. I'd noticed this too, but hadn't really given it much thought as it doesn't really affect our play style since we like it sort of grotty anyway. I told this guy I'd try to ask if anyone knew anything about this so here we are.
So yeah I guess I'm curious if you might know a reason for the the blockiness or if this may improve with the release of 2.5.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
