  Possible to edit HDV in the field?

  Does anyone think it’d be possible to digitize and edit HDV in the field with a Powerbook and a couple of Firewire 400 drives?

  If you COULD, what would you do with the finished edit?

  Shouldn’t be a problem. MIght want to get a cardbus adapter to add a second FireWire bus to separate the drives and deck.

  Yep, You can use a powerbook to capture. I had a situation last summer that I had to capture 2 tapes (60 min) a day for 11 days on my 12 powerbook and a 250 LaCie. Since the 12″ doesn’t have a card slot I tried to capture with the disk connected to the USB 2.0 connection. It worked perfectly without any glitches!
