Re: Pinnacle dv500 vs Matrox RT 2000 - opinions please

: I'd like to be able to edit footage from my VX2000 in native DV mode on my PC. Having used a DPS Perception for years in my now-defunct animation business, I dont think I could live with anything less than being able to preview "full-frame quality" on a TV monitor while editing, so good analag out is a must... Realiability and ease of use, integration with the VX are also very important to me.
: The Matrox is more than I really want to spend, and as I'm not doing corporate video's or weddings, the fancier realtime effects like page turns and so on are not important to me.
: The DV500 plus seems like a good deal.
: What other cards could I consider? Anybody has first hand experience of any of these systems and like to share their comments? I'd really appreciate it...
: Thanks

you sound like me.....I wanted a matrox rt, but couldn't afford it, I am also looking at the DV500plus. With that in mind, in my opinion, the DV500 is a better deal, I hear Matrox is still wrestling with problems, and I haven't heard to much negativity on the DV500, also with the DV500 you are not restricted to a built in video card, which to me is plus. I just got a perception to play with (got it real cheap) and started using premier 6 with it (also got speed razor 3.5 with it, old app for perception, lacks many features). The Perception works okay, but rendering is very very slow. with your experience with the perception, what knowledge can you share...thanks.
