Hi,
Has anyone attempted to perform DV captures from a camcorder to a 240X laptop using a PCMCIA firewire card? The laptop specs are P3 500 MHz, 192 MB RAM and 5400 rpm drive running XP. Thanks.

No, but seems within reason...

Code: Select all
Pinnacle Studio MovieBox DV & PCMCIA FireWire Card System Requirements
* Intel Pentium or AMD Athlon, 500MHZ
* 128 MB RAM
* Available PCMCIA CardBus slot
* Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, XP
* DirectX 8 or higher compatible sound card
* DirectX 8 or higher graphic card
* Mouse
* CD-ROM drive (CD or DVD burner required to create VCD, SVCD or DVD)
* 300 MB of disk space to install software
* 210 MB of disk space for every minute of video captured
* SCSI or Ultra DMA/33, ATA-66, ATA-100 or faster IDE hard drive
looks like you got the "minimum" required... so it should work.. but dont expect nice performance as the reccomended is TWICE the minimum...
