I have P3 (waiting for Curious to offer upgrade) and will soon be getting a DV camcorder. Will P3 or P4 allow DV footage in background. I believe the avi types for analogue and digital are different...

I think that if you save a movie in your hard disk in AVI format from a Digital Source or an Analog Source is the same, because the AVI format is Digital like other media on the computer, I think that the only change is the quality. A friend of mine has a Miro DC-10 and a Sony Camcorder (no digital) and he could save in AVI, MPEG, and other formats, but not to the same quality that a digital. Of course, Im not a specilist!

hmmm... now that would be handy. Our company is also getting two new DV cams. Anybody know of any software, short of a true video editing system, that will convert from the digital DV format to AVI, MPEG or Quicktime?

Quicktime Pro from Apple (www.apple.com) allows some simple editing (cropping and flash cuts), as well as importing from and exporting to a lot of formats, including AVI and Quicktime. I work on a Mac, but I think there is supposed to be a version for Windows, too. - Jim

Ahhh - but will it directly import a DVCam file without a separate hardware capture card?
