Virtual VTR v. DC20

[Pietari Koskinen]

I am upgrading from PowerTower Pro w/466MHz G3 to a new G4 computer. I've been using MiroMotion DC20 many years for digital picture with very good results. With G4 I will not be able to use DC20 anymore (or neither any other video card, because my slots will be full with Mix Cubed and Atto). It looks that my only alternative would be buy Virtual VTR and use it in my current computer with DC20.

If there is somebody who is done a similar switch, I would like to hear your experiences. How responsive is Virtual VTR compared to using only DC20? I read the manual of Virtual VTR and got the feeling that it would not be as good: "video should lock up and play in sync in under a second". With DC20 in my current computer the video lock up is instantaneous.

Thanks.
