    hi community. i need to ask you which programm is good for direct to disk recording.
    until recently i was a pc user, and i used dv rack and later onlocation.
    i know i could use bootcamp. but is there any mac only solution? i know also there is scopebox but that one is not supporting HDV :(
    any input?

    iMovie, FCE, FCP and QuickTime Pro will all record directly to hard drive from your camera (assuming you have a compatible Firewire capable camera). In FCE or FCP, you'll need to set "Device Control" to "Non-Controllable Device" and use Capture Now. I do this several times a year on multi-camera shoots taking a live feed from the switcher/DVE (through a DVCam VTR). Be sure to roll tapes in the cameara as backup.
