Whilst I agree that OS X drivers would be a good thing, I can understand their reluctance to write drivers for a product that they will soon not be selling anymore. In addition, the IgniterLT (the next card up from the Fuse) is a much better product: not only is it gen-lockable (people seem to have forgotten about this with the advent of the QT movie), but also contains audio I/O - handy considering that the newer G4s do not have audio inputs built-in. > do what I do and get your clients to supply the video already compressed as > quicktime on a CD-ROM!.. or alternatively, look at a firewire or USB domestic > video capture device if you just want to convert home movies.. or better still > get a DV camera with firewire.. > But beware of the latency of them, which cannot be compensated for within Logic. -- The best of times to you all...
