Okay, My granddad and I are working on a little video yearbook-ish type of project, and he is looking for a breakout box for himself, I have never personally needed one, but we are going to be using it for my computer.

He want an external VC device, so I narrowed it down to these two to use, one is usb, and one is FireWire, I personally told him to get the firewire one, but that the choice was up to him.

The first on is a Plextor PC-M402U, it is USB, and looks pretty decent. It is $140 with a $50 MIR.

The second on is a ADS Tech Pyro API-555. It is firewire, has more connection, and looks like a better product.


Will both of these work for Adobe Premier? That is my main concern, as it is what we are going to be using to edit the video.:vimp:

    VCR most likely, we are putting together a video for a family reunion, and he want my help, right now, he is scanning a couple hundred slides and negatives, then pictures. But there is some video he wants to get, as well as some audio from a brother of his mother that he made before he passed away talking about the experiences of his life, kind of like a living story book. He was a good story teller.

    I'm gonna call him back today after I get off of work at 4 and seen what he got, it is 6:20 here, so I got to go get ready, I am hoping that he got the firewire one so that I can buy it off of him when he is done, because I have no desire for the plextor unit really.
