Videoediting on notebook
Milko Burkard
I want to edit VHS videos on my notebook.
Can anyone tell me if the following configuration will work?
Notebook
* Compaq Presario 1615 (Pent. 150MMX, 32 MB, Neomagic MagicGraph128XD
videocard, 1,5 Gb HD)
* BUZ
* SCSI PC-card (SCSI-2 ???)
* external SCSI HD (any suggestions ?)
HD and BUZ will plug into the same SCSI PC-Card
Thanks
Milko

Bad news: The Buz doesn't plug into a SCSI controller. It *is* a SCSI
controller, as well as being a video capture device. The Buz plugs into a
PCI slot. If your notebook had a PCI slot you could plug in the Buz and then
connect the hard drive to the SCSI port on the Buz, but that probably
isn't the case. 150 MHz may be sort of marginal as far as processor
speed goes, too.

ultrathin totally chic laptops have a FireWire connector you can use
with a DV camera and Premiere 5.0
Sony only has a 2.1 gig internal drive so you don't have a ton of
room.
Otherwise you should look at PC Card (PCMCIA) based capture cards like
CapSurePro from Irez or others.

DV connector is for *still* image capture, not for video. I really really
doubt the hard disk in the 505 can do the 4 MByte/sec+ needed for DV video
capture.
If you really do know that this does work please let us know.

The BUZ is a PCI capture card which also has a SCSI controller
onboard.
... so it won`t work with a laptop, unless it has a docking station
with a spare PCI slot....
You`d need something that attaches via the parallel port - e.g. the
Dazzle - this converts to MPEG-1 on the fly..

There are products which use the PCMCIA slot.
Presume you have this?
Will post some suggestions later.
