If most of the source is DV, you’re best off capturing it as such. You’ll not gain any quality up-converting the DV to 8 bit… It could be argued that graphics would look better, but then, I’m not seeing a huge difference, however there probably is some on a scope… theory states that when you take a digital recording, then convert an analog out then recapturing it as a digital file, you lose quality… that’s what you are doing when you convert DV to analog then back to digital…

Log it first in the log and capture window… you can enter a name by typing in the 3 fields below the greyed out name column and checking on the checkbox near the field with the text you’ve entered. Also after typing F2 to log the clip, if the “prompt” checkbox is checked, you’ll have a dialog box open to change the name of the clip or put a name in it.

This sounds like an OS problem… might run Macjanitor and repair permissions, but if this fails, I’d do a reinstall of the OS.

Just because it’s not listed doesn’t mean it won’t work. It means it hasn’t been tested most likely.

Sure with the addition of a capture card in the G5 you can do this… Kona 2 would be my recommendation for this.

Well for starters… it’s RT is more robust (i.e. there’s simply more RT on any machine), I love that you can size text in the Browser as well.
Capturing more than 2 audio tracks in a pass would make this a must have for many, and you can change the audio levels upon capture even from digital sources. The reconnection dialog box is better, and so is general response I think, especially in Tiger.
HDV support. Rendering quality is improved quite a bit as well. Scaling in particular has had a rewrite.
There’s a lot more than multicam involved here… There are improvements all over the app actually, probably over 100.

Would depend on your CPU’s speed, but the widescreen filter, or cropping the images can be real time. I’d think any dual G5 with fast enough disk drives should handle it in DV or uncompressed SD.
