Same posting with, as suggested, real subject in the header...

Hi. I'll try to make it short. It's been weeks that go from a forum to another, applied-Magic from Canopus, from Matrox etc...Yes, I have to buy something to edit.

I just discover vegas video. and have a few questions.

Since they say it has realtime previews, if I buy a cheap pyro card and a dv deck, I'll have the dv quality of the software(that they described as excellent), real time previwing while working, and many more audio features than premiere give me.

So, no need to buy a 1200$ dv strorm, I have the same for 350$(vv3+pyro).

Am I completly in outerspace thinking that?

Other questions follow.

Thanks

We've got a couple Storms as well as VV3 now. I'd recommend VV3 and OHCI (and NTFS) right now. Maybe later when you have a ton of stuff to do you can learn Premiere on the Storm.

My biggest Storm complaint right now: They still offer no OpenDML (>4gb file size) capability. This was a big advantage to them when Win98 ruled, but is a real inconvenience now with NTFS.

Go to www.creativecow.net and to the Vegas Video section. The moderators there are great at discussions like this and I've seen a few posts answering your question already. Later.
