Vegas edits uncompressed and DigiBeta video beautifully without proxies or workarounds. Working with these formats is faster than working with DV because no or little overhead from uncompression/recompression for every frame. You need fast disks though, and a fast motherboard (workstation class).

You need a DeckLink card or equivalent (perhaps a Convergent Design box) for output to a DigiBeta deck (D-1 and D-5 uncompressed decks are not so common).

You might also research outputting to modestly compressed HD for film output, as the data rate for this would actually be less and it could give you better quality.

Thanx

Would the Abit IC7 MAX be a sufficient mobo?

I think DVCAM format on Firewire drive will be the final delivery method.
I will do some quality tests with HD output.

Cheers.

DVCAM = DV (as far as the format on your hard drive). This is basically identical to that which you would capture from any firewire attached DV camera. As the end format is DVCAM... is the source format also DVCAM? If so... then you should stay in DV AVI format from capture/edit/print as there is no reason to switch to any other format.
