Summary: What is this?!?!?!
Review: First off... I have not tried this!!!!

BUT! When I got here, my first thought was.... OK... what is this, since amazon does not seem to supply ANY information about it at all. So I went hunting, and I figure I'd share my finds with you.

Key Features:

- Add titles, narration, special effects and more
- Capture one hour of DV tape in 150 MB of disk space with SmartCapture feature
- Create DV tapes, MPEG files, AVI clips, or RealVideo files for web-streaming
- The perfect companion to your DV or Digital8 camcorder

Package includes

2-Sony DVM60PR MiniDV Tapes
1-IEEE 1394 PCI Board
Pinnacle Systems Studio DV Editing Software
Instruction Guide to Movie Making
1-IEEE 1394 (Firewire/i.link) 6-Pin x 4-Pin cable

There was a note on the same page that I found all this saying that this only supports NTSC, NOT PAL version...

overall, this looks like a pretty good deal for those who want to transfer their MiniDV's to their computers, only gave it 4 stars since A) I personally haven't used it, and B) When it comes to video editing, I'm more a type A personality, and I think I'd like more control than this product would give me. but thats just me :)

hope this helps

Summary: A great deal for beginners
Review: I have just bought this "audio editing package" as a part of my first video camera kit. I found it great because it contains all do you need to begin working on your digital videos, the software interface its very intuitive and very easy to use and you can be making things on broadcast quality very soon.

The only complaint that I have, and the reason why I only assign 4 stars to this product, it's that the documentation is very poor (actually doesn't mention anything about the PCI card setup) and also I didn't find any help on-line to accomplish this task (neither in the websites of Sony and Pinnacle) .

If you have a medium knowledge on setting up a PCI device within your PC and you are interested in begin video edition this product is for you. (By the way the only difference between this package and the D8 labeled it's the media tapes they have inside).

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Installation Problems
Review: This Sony software is actually made by Pinnacle Systems, and thus Sony's helpdesk will refer you to Pinnacle. Boy did I need help! The software came without a serial # required to install it, and it took me almost 8 hours with email, fax and phone with Pinnacle to get a serial #. The FireWire card supplied did not include the promised installation instructions, so I had ...[to] guess. Once I got the serial #, the installation went well, but Pinnacle's help desk is not an impressive outfit. Once installed, my Win XP PC instantly recognized my Sony Mini DV camcorder, and I downloaded my tape onto my hard drive with good intuitive controls.
