thanks for the pointers, Robert…that’s exactly what i derived from doing a number of tests over the past couple of days…HDV would only keep up with 3-4 streams before it started to become unusable without rendering…in DV, however, i was able to have 6 streams on a 720×480 canvas (16:9 anamorphic) and get them to play pretty smoothly…

quality drops down to something a bit more pixelated than i was hoping, but it’ll suffice for the main purpose of getting an overview of how all the clips look together.

if only Cineform’s codec was ported to OSX already (i use it on my Windows XP notebook).

ok, back to work creating loops.
thanks again!
