Am lookin for a firewire card with realtime effects for under $700. I'm lookin for more quality then flash but if it had some nonlinear effects that would be nice.

For that kind of price range, you can expect to get a bundled copy of a decent video editing suite such as Adobe Premiere and Harware accelerated functions such as real time rendering and improved MPEG2 encoding times.

Remember that you can do just about everything with a plain old firewire card that you can do on an expensive video editing card.

Check out the offerings from Matrox, Pinnacle and Canopus. There are plenty of reviews for each of the manufacturers cards on the internet...
