I didn't know that there would be RRG drivers... you sure?

Im looking forward to better DV support. Between BeOS and personalStudio, and an audio app or two, BeOS is going to be a great platform to edit with.

Can't wait to give it a try. Anyone know for SURE if the Marvel/RR-G is supported. And if there are any current Be nuts out there, what is the MediaStudio/Premiere eqiv under BeOS?

Adamation personalStudio is a consumer-level video editing program. It's being designed to work with BeOS5 specifically, in its newest upgrade.

Another system, UltraDV, will be coming out this summer. Heres a letter from Mediapede (UltraDV creators) to BeNews.com about their plans:

BeOS already comes with a bunch of audio apps. I believe it already has some MIDI apps, too.

According to an article recently, the Be File System is efficient enough that a normal 5200RPM drive would be enough to edit DV format video real time.

The article is about personalStudio and BeOS 5, and it's pretty good:
