FLASH: OT - Video capture, editing & output

[Mark Tagliaferro]

Sorry for the OT, but it seems that a lot of people here have considerable

experience on the subject, so I thought I would ask.  I have a Mac G4/450

and a Sony Hi8 TRV99 camcorder.  I want to be able to capture video, edit it

on the G4 and send back to Hi8.


The G4 has two firewire ports. The camera has one S-video (input/output) as

well as left & right audio.  It also has composite, but I'm not interested

in using that.


Sony has a product called a media converter that will supposedly convert the

signal from S-video to firewire and back.  Does it make sense to use

something like that or are there other technologies?


I'm also looking for a recommendation for editing software.  Adobe Premiere

and Apple Final Cut Pro are the only one's I am familiar with.  But i have

no experience with either.


I'm really hoping someone could advise me on what would be the most sensible

approach.  Feel free to email me off list
