Actually, USB should be fine, as long as you're not doing anything else that uses the USB bus (like typing, moving the mouse, listening to music via USB Speakers, etc...);-).
All of those things suck up the bandwith quite quickly, and you WILL get poor quality and performance.
FireWire is a much better bus for these kinds of things because it was designed to not drop frames, even under very heavy traffic.
This seems to be an evaluation license. I'm sure that if someone is seriously going to use it in a shipping product, they would have to negotiate a contract w/Apple to cover both their asses.
It does seem that there is no cost for using this code, which is way cool!
Hmmm...looking at Apple's store, I see two kinds of iMacs that are under $1000:
an Indigo for $799 and an Indigo & Ruby (with FireWire for your iMovie with is way cool) for $999.
Please check your facts before you post, bub.
