General Comments

The Canopus ACEDVio card is not recommended for use for a prrofessional or semi professional editors. It seems to be a low end card. Certainly not for the money you pay.

    I completely disagree with Kankrish's review. I use Premiere 2.0 Pro and the ACEDVio board. Because this, like most true NLE software is non-linear editing (NLE), this issue no longer exists.

    I have NEVER had this problem, and find the ACEDVio to be a rock solid productive investment. I typically composit 60 - 90 video using several transitions, effects, movement and the like.

    I recently replaced my DVStorm2 Pro ($1,200.00 new) board with the ACEDVio, as the Storm card wouldn't work with PPro 2, and Canopus is no longer supporting new driver sets. Although it lacks a conversion engine and several bells and whistles (hence the cost difference), I am not dissatisfied at all.

    Kankrish appears to be having a software issue, as this is not the fault of the hardware.

    AMD 64 4400+
    2 GIG RAM
    Diamond Viper X1300 PCIe
    Promise S150-M RAID Controller
    6 HD's running in 2 arrays (5,0) (1.5 Terrabyte)
