[vlc] Re: Firewire

[jhhcr at earthlink.net]

Just watching DV in quicktime or send through firewire is no problem, 
but encoding from or decoding into another format will take a lot of 
time no realtime here without dedicated hardware. Its somewhat related 
to an question I posted how to utilize the firewire port on the Macs to 
import the MPEG-2 transport streams from HDTV signals in D-VHS firewire 
outputs? I wonder if anyone is working on this?


But how do I get to them on a Mac?
