I hope I can get some feedback here...

I'm making the leap to non-linear but money is definitely tight --so I was hoping someone could give me some "EXPERIENCED" information.

After looking around on the web --questioning everyone I could find, I narrowed my choice of card dow to the Canopus DVRex because I need to be able to capture both analog and DV...

The problem is that I can't yet afford the DVRex --not for another 6 months anyway.

That problem has led me to this question...

I see that Miro makes the DC 30 Pro and DV 300. The literature I've read seems to intimate that these 2 cards compliment each other when installed together in the same computer...

If this is true, this could be the answer to my problem i.e., that I want to get started editing NOW. I could easily afford both the DC 30 and DV 300 now and start working, but I've only met one person who has used these cards together --OR SHOULD I SAY TRIED to use them together. He tells me that it's a nightmare to get both cards working in the same system... Is this true?

Does anyone work with both these systems? And, if so, would you have any idea of the major differences between using the DC30/DV300 Versus the DVRex?

Thanks in advance!
