[G4] New system...

[baggins]

if you are buying a real video system it's not just the g4/g5 and software
but also the capture device and what medium you are using.
i use g4 with firewire at home but at the office we have g4 and pinicale
for capture of beta cam sp and firewire dv cam .
but we are getting new g5 beta digital and raid drive with a new type of
capture card that i have not been told about yet.
so you see it is determined on how serious you want to get as to what to
buy..
