Capturing to MPEG-2

JavaNut wrote on 6/18/2002, 1:33 PM

Is there a way of capturing from my digital camcorder using my firewire port directly to MPEG-2 using VV3? I have a fairly beefy system, so I am hoping it would be able to keep up. My configuration is

Dell Precision 530 Workstation
Dual Pentium 4 2GHz Xeon processors
1GB Ram
IDE Raid of 7200rpm drives
Firewire is built in to the motherboard

Would this system be sufficient to even attempt? If so, any suggestions?

Thanks

I should caveat that slightly, the only part I don't have that is beefy is available hard disk space, thus the reason for wanting MPEG-2. I suppose, if I must, I can get more drives, but cash it tight at the moment.

No. You have to render to get to MPEG2.
