Well, there *is* an argument. (Not a flame, just a friendly disagreement!) I use Premiere 4.2.1 on a Mac 8600/200 with a combined FireWire/SCSI interface card, the Adaptec 8945. With Adaptec's new drivers, I get all of the performance you claim for the DV Master. I'm sure yours is great; it's just not the only good performer with DV.(posted 9314 days ago)
