This allowed me to capture to RAM without dropped frames using the Media 100. Then I yanked the original CPU and installed a 250MHZ G3 replacement board from Newertech. That move cut down the rendering time significantly. The MotoDV program provided remote control of the deck and perfect capture directly to the FWB without frame loss. I plugged in Radius extensions for Premier and turned off the Media 100.
Problems remain of course.
Premiere 5.0 has just hit the market and promises to add lots of new functions and filters. After so much time spent getting my system in balance, I take a deep breath before adding any upgrades. It's always like juggling ping pong balls and having someone toss in an anvil. The FWB 9 gig drive is plenty fast for MotoDV and needs to be unsegmented as soon as I have the strength to face the damn manual again. It is still too small.
