The Underscore Archives

																	instead of a dvd deck you could use a mini dv/dvcam
one (i think watershed has one, it's long, thin, beige
& made by sony)

i haven't inspected the back but i'm pretty sure it's
got firewire + analogue ins/outs

so, i reckon use the firewire from the camera for your
pristine dv capture, and the analogue outs for the
stream (into another pc via the dvcam deck)... if the
streams going to end up hyper compressed i think it'll
be fine to use the analogue signal for it.

all the best

A nice idea, but the thing is I'd like to stream and

time. So either some kind of fancy firewire splitter
is in order, or 
I'd
have to take the analogue output of the camera into
the DVD recorder. 
Plus
DV->MPEG2 is not always a happy conversion (different
grid sizes, 
iirc).
