I would be reluctant to buy a camera that wasn't DV. However as you have one, it should be possible to transcode to something mainactor can deal with. Just to confirm I have a quicktime movie which tcprobe tells me is: audio codec=QDM2 video codec=SVQ3 and mainactor deosn't want to know it.

I am not familiar with avid or media 100, but I am always interested in new interfaces to movie editing. I might even install windows to take a look :) > > 3. Be able to do lot more with sound (e.g. mixing). Ahhh but there are plenty of sound mixing programs for linux. And if I understand correctly you can do a certain amount of sound mixing with main actor by using multiple audio tracks and mixing them.
