You should be able to capture from atleast 2 cameras onto one computer. But the computer has to be really, really fast; with a lot of ram.

could you explain a little more
 
I capture with Vegas. Is there a way to capture two sources with Vegas?

Perhaps you use a different program.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

<<<-- Originally posted by Vince Skinner : For cost, I'm just buying more DV tapes instead of a new hd. The cost per gig is a lot less than a hd. I can get a 200 gig hd for 150 after rebate. That's $0.75/gig! I buy tapes at 6 for 22$. Which is around 0.28/gig. -->>>

If you shop around, you can get even better deals on hard drives. About a month and a half ago, I bought a 120 gig Western Digital drive from CompUSA for $80 after rebates, including taxes. That's about 66 cents per gig... still not as low as DV tape, but it's much easier to copy to a HD than back to tape, so i'd say the extra cost is worth it.

That is a good deal! I agree! I just need to shop around and save my $. And getting a raid card of course, to handle the larger hd's. Thanx
