Only thing I'm wondering about is how to get a DV-Tape to my HDD faster then 1:1..... Isn't there a box outthere where ya can put your tape in and that loads it to your HDD fullspeed?

If you buy a REAL editing station, you can work THROUGH the Firewire interface (keeping the source in its NATIVE format on the DV) Because a real editingstation only use metadata for the effex and timeline. When you are ready to export it, then it sux in the data from the DV (only what it need) and at that time your system is taking forever to encode the movie, so you dont have to thing about loadtime.
The only problem is if the source is on more than ONE tape
This is the usual reply you get from if you ask about capturing faster than realtime
------------------------
Transfering video at rates higher than realtime requires expensive equipment, in both decks and computers, lower end editing achieves some of this by fast scanning when doing batch files which speeds up transfer somewhat, MSP7 for instance, or importing multiple video streams like with DVstorm2 which can do 3 streams simo.
