Aloha,
I was all jazzed about Serious Magic's DVRack for field production, then I found out that it was only gonna work on Windows based systems. Has anyone tried DVRack with Virtual PC? Any suggestions or advice? I would really like to use DVRack in the field, but I refuse to buy another laptop just for that. I have a GREAT PB G4 and I love it. Besides, I'm used to Mac and like the programs that I use (I confess that I DO use a two-button mouse--but that's the ONLY Microsoft product I use willingly). I don't plan to be going to a lot of Windows programs, but this one apparently is not even being considered for Mac. Any replies are very welcome! Mahalo!

No way. VPC, even on a dual G5, isn't going to handle anything that's media or graphics intense. It won't even handle an audio stream dependably. It's fine for running Office.
