When it says real time, does this just mean that when you ad say a transition and play ur movie it will run operfect as you play it?
(I ask this, as my machine already does?)

When you then export does the card make a difference, and if so HOW MUCH?

we talking rendering twice as quick?

cheers

No. We talking rendering and exporting in real time. you have a sixty second video and as long as you adhere to the rules for realtime render then you can export it in sixty seconds.

Word of advice on this card though. Do not even think about deviating from the approved h/w list that Matrox has.

Another big plus is the relatime MPEG2 encoder. This means that you can expiort ot MPEG2 in real time and also capture analogue and encode to MPEG2 for cutting yoru VHS tapes to DVD and not even have to touch Premiere. great

Get one of these cards working and you, like me, will answer many threads on this forum with the magic words "What does it mean, wait for render?" hee Hee, it really pisses everyone else off.
