Response to I bet nobody can answer this XL 1 question!!!

from John Windmueller (jwind@cais.com)
(1) No particularly. There are a lot of better DV-native editing systems to choose from (MotoDV, DV Master Pro, ProMax, etc.) that offer a lot more editing flexibility, better upgrade potential, and zero generation or codec loss.

(2) I suspect you'll be able to tell a noticable difference / generation loss between the signal transfer and additional encoding. The only time you might make an argument that there's no significant or noticable generation loss going from digital to analog is with fairly high end editing hardware that offers very-near 1:1 compression (like the Matrox Digisuite LE).

(3) Um, yes... unless a mob crazed with millenium-fear runs through your home and tramples the equipment.

(4) I use a Sennheiser k6/me66 medium-length shotgun mic--used either camera or boom mount--and have been extremely happy with it. The k6 is a nice system since you can end up saving some serious money if you need multiple mic options.
