Hi guys !

Yesterday I tried vegas video demo, and I found it very
intuitive and inspirative !(Vegas is so compatibile with my
brain!!) - (heh!)

BUT, I stuck with a preview on an external s-vhs monitor.
After examination of this forum and finding more about OHCI
and DV, I think I found THE cheap solution ! (380 $)


How about: Pyro Digital Video/1394DV - firewire card
( http://www.videoguys.com/pyro.htm#pyro )

and: Hollywood DV-Bridge - Universal Solution for
Converting and Editing Analog and DV Video
(http://www.videoguys.com/hollywood.html)

So, vegas works with OHCI card and DV-bridge converts
firevare DV to analog s-video or vice versa.


Hey guys, what do You think ????


I'm an producer/audio engineer and with that system I would
like to load an 720x576 25fps cinepak .avi from my HD to an
vegas project, and than, when doing sound FX, I just want
to see video preview on an s-vhs monitor. (no video
editing, no video fx - just preview an input cinepak video
to an s-vhs output!)

What do you think? Will it work that way ??


And, how much of %CPU will this preview use ??? (of an PIII
800 mhz - one video track, no edits, cinepak 720x576)


Thats all.

Waiting for opinions.
