MAUI DIVER:aloha,
sorry but not full dv quality....its a compressed file using firewire as well as a capture board but worse, looks fine to common joe but broacasters would kick it out.
anyways, just trying to share knowledge. no offense. Now the capture boards are offered with uncompressed output which is perfect. just a note.

What jimk said...
And as far as broadcasters "kicking it out," i was at EVS in Glendale the other day talking to the DP for a major cable network show...
They shoot it to MiniDV on a Panasonic DVX-100b and capture to FCP using firewire... after editing it goes out that way, broadcast quality. They are looking to upgrade to HD but, as with most, are waiting for the new sony HDV models to come out.
The last analog capture board I had was a DPS Perception that worked quite well, until I needed to upgrade the clients system to WinXP... then i had to figure out a way to reverse engineer the perception video codec so that Premiere would read their bass-ackwards mjpeg implementations.
Anyhow:
On order is a MacPro 3.0 Ghz quad, 2 G Ram with the x1900 graphics cards
FCP 5.1.2, PS, Illustrator, Motion, Compressor, DVDSP. ProTools for sound stuff. i haven't tried my hand too much with shake, but seeing it in action is quite amazing.
Generally I use DVX-100's to film. HD coming soon, I hope.
