Final Cut Pro Rulez! (Score 1)

I have been using final cut pro for about a year, and for a software only solution I don't think it can be beat. I use a Sony DMC-DA1 analog to firewire converter box to capture video. This is a good solution if you don't want to shell out the money for a new dv camera right away and have a decent analog camerea. I have no trouble with dropped frames using a IBM 37.5 gig IDE drive. I do however recomend that you have a dedicated drive for capture and playback. check out some examples @: http://kunzelman.discountpetfood.net/ under digital
