Viability of Rainbow runner gseries add-on?

[Snowfly]

Hi there, can anyone tell me how good is the rainbow runner addon for a g400 dh
for editing home movies?
I have a small HD about 6.4 gigs )
and my mo'board only supports dma 33
should i get the rainbow or a hardware mpeg2 card like a pinnacle netstream?
Im hoping I can get away with only chopping like 15-20 minutes at a time then saving those files on a cdr...would this work or am i just confused

Relocated to the Desktop Video forum, where all the video editing gurus post.

The RR-G addon is a good one, but given your limited resources a hardware MPEG-2 device may be your best option for now. This presuming you're not going to update your drive subsystem any time soon....

Don't forget that Dazzle makes an external hardware MPEG-2 device that uses USB as its connect: Digital Video Creator II.
