- Speaking of which...
- With that new Sony VX1000 digital camera, you could simply download video
- data to a hard drive, using the FireWire connection, edit it in any way you
- want with various programs, and send it back to the camera as digital data.
- Video editing without a tape generation loss, and eliminating the need for
- those expensive capture/playback cards.
- As far as I know, nobody has created such a board for any computer yet. I
- wonder if anybody is working on one for the Amiga?
