Maybe I missed it in your list but don't you need to have a firewire card to handle any input/output of DV footage?

The new SB Audigy comes with a firewire port built in. I'm using this card for capture and output and haven't had any problems with VV3.

Sorry, failed to list a Pyro firewire card; but how do all the other components look?

Are you specifying just the one hard drive?

Will be using external firewire drive.
