If you have a FireWire cable connecting the Raptor card
and the Mini-DV camcorder, and the camcorder is on in
VTR-mode, you should see all rendered video in the camera
VF as it is played on the Premiere timeline (unless something
is *not* set right...), and you can also feed the signal from
the camera's analogue outputs to a VCR (or,
I suppose, from the Raptor's analogue out and sound card's
audio out - though I have not done this...). Simply render
the whole project (I prefer to wipe all previews and render
a fresh set before outputting to tape to remove potential
glitches), then start the camera in VTR-mode with a Mini-DV
tape in it (to make a DV-master - but you can just leave it
in standby and record analogue from the camera's output, if
you just want an analogue copy on a VCR...), hit "record",
then hit the keyboard "enter" key, and out it goes... Hit
"stop" on the camera (or VCR) when finished....
EASY! ;-)
