If you already have a Mac and a digital camcorder, you can get started with TD Video without spending alot. We suggest your experienced Mac have a G4, G5 or intel processor, but G3s with a factory installed FireWire port will work. A display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 or greater is required. This shopping list includes TD Video and a 500 gigabyte external hard drive. To capture video from a VCR or DVD player, you may need a media converter, your digital camcorder might capture analog video for you too. |
