Editing faster than realtime

Well, my budget got fried this year anyway. While I can get away with some pro gear, telecine equipment isn't gonna fly! I think the best thing for me to do is to look at going direct to hard drive when I buy the HDV camera next year. That will hopefully cut down on capture and transfer times. I'll revisit hardware assist boards at that point.

Those P2 recorder Cards would be just what the doctor ordered, if it wasnt for the fact that they only hold 15 minutes of friggin video...

I heard a rumor that Sony released a direct-to-hard drive camera just recently. Haven't taken the time to track it down. A quick google only turned up this: http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/05/sony-dcr-sr100-handycam-hard-drive-camcorder/

Once the Sony and Panny pro stuff go HD it'll be a whole new world.

That said, I know there are a few hard drives that feed live from the camera out there. Have you considered adding one of those to your current setup? I remember reading about the first few to market in DV magazine over a year ago, so there must be more by now.
