Hi all. Im a newbie, and I need some advice. While on this
website:

http://www.videoguys.com/setup.htm

in the General Tips section, it recommends installing the
software before the card. I have a Pinnacle StudioDV card,
which I understand is OHCI-compliant, and will therefore
work with Vegas Video.

I have a JVC DVL-505 camera. I am running Windows ME on a
MS 5184 M/B with an AMD K6/2-450 chip. 192MB ram, 16mb
Voodoo2 v/card, and have a new 40gb ata-100 hdd (slave)
with the ata-100 Promise controller card set to go for DV
use only.

Any suggestions as to:
1. What I should install first - the card or the s/w?
2. Any feeback concerning the JVC camera?
3. Any comments/suggestions on my system or improving it?

I have read many threads here, and have learned quite a
bit, and will probably have more posts as I really get into
DV.

Thanks for any and all help. Looking forward to your
responses...

Gratefully..

John Burritt
