Sorry I forgot you had a Powerbook... I don't really know if there is a software like that for Apple.

Ronik, have you used dvrack? We were close to picking it up, but couldn't find any solid feedback. Thanks.

Yes I have it on my laptop and I really appreciate it! You don't need a very powerful computer to run DVRack! I would like it to be available for Apple because I'm a mac user but DVRack really worth the price!

alveraz - DVrack is golden! - When you have a little time to kill search the forum for various reviews. Getting pretty high marks. I would prefer a higher resolution on screen [think it's about 300 lines] If you have pro field monitors maybe not such a big deal but even the capture to hard drive is a real sweetie. It basically replaces a handful of various equipment. Try the demo if you have a laptop kicking around - Odds are you will dig it.
