My question was hypothetical.  I should have said so.  It came to me as I was 
sitting around thinking of things that I'd like to be able to do with my 
computers.

My expert, Earl the Video Maven, tells me that I have four choices with 
consumer video gear.  I can use composite NTSC, S-Video NTSC, and two kinds of 
digital video.  Let's say that I want to work with the digital output of a 
Sony video camera with a Firewire port.  It speaks one of the two kinds of 
digital video but we don't know which one.

Earl the Video Maven recommended Adobe Premier under Windows or MacOS.  Is there anything like it for NetBSD?
