If your video camera will accept FireWire input, you

can connect the camera, and connect the analogue outputs

of many cameras to analogue recorders and play the timeline

(after rendering) while recording... For safety and

mastering, though, I make two DV masters of the parts,

and assemble long pieces from these DV copies of the parts

to make the long analogue copies...
