Hog Heaven: QuickTime Video through FireWire

[andy beach]

Erica -

Just downloaded and here are my results/opinion:

1) Yes its way cool

2) Work quick and easy with my 800 mhx ibook, sony DCR-pc100, & 14" 
toshiba monitor (camera was recording, but also passes through signal 
directly to monitor w/o recording)

3) Will play out any .dv's or DV-NTSC .mov's clips i have.

4) Even better, i could play out DV clips straight from laptops HD, 
something i've never successfully done from FCP without at least a 
little bit of stutter.

5)I need to compare the tape version to other tape exports i've done, 
but it *might* have been a little less quality in luminance values than 
going straight out of FCP.  I only noticed because the clips i played 
out were pretty murky already and the contrast ratio seemed a bit off 
from the previews I was looking at last night.

so thats it - thanks for tip and the cool app!
