Re: video pass-through device besides DV cam? (on video card, maybe?)

--- "I go Svideo out of this card right to my Panasonic 27" tv/monitor. Works the same as the external boxes except you don't have to hook up a firewire cable since it's built in to the card." ---

OK, this makes sense to me. That's what I'd expect.

But I'm still confused about some of the other answers given here -- maybe I need to do some studying so I can talk about this stuff more intelligently. I'm sure there's a good book out there that would help fill my DV knowledge gaps... recommendations welcome... ;-)
