DV Tape Drives As PC Peripherals?
Phil McKreviss asks: "I've been trying to capture digital video from my DV camera, and have tested a number of solutions. Starting with a 1394 card, I've tried to capture the data stream to my hard drive using UDMA33 drives, UDMA66 drives, and now an external SCSI Ultra Wide drive array. I still face challenges handling the data stream. My question is this: why do I have to have such a high bandwidth solution? Does it seem crazy that I need such a system to capture data from a pre-recorded source? It's not like I'm trying to capture live data or anything -- heck, it's already recorded!"
Is there a DV tape drive that I can install in my system? I would think that simply copying data from the tape to the hard drive at a moderate pace would be far simpler than 1394/SCSI-UW/RAID.
Suggestions?
