Yep. If your system is fast enough you can use up to 4 cameras if you have the Pro version of VidBlaster.

cool. ;)
so a 3.4Ghz HT should be fine then with 768M? when will you post a min requirement? i also sent you an email about testing for you because i have a function coming up and it would be cool to mess with it and give you feedback and a report. ;)

The CPU and mem only goes so far. The drivers for your cameras also play a large role, as does the hardware interface. For the same reason I cannot post a min. requirement, but a true XP system will do fine to use the standard VB version.

It's not a secret. As I have been trying to explain it depends on too many variables. Perhaps better English would have been "I can't say"? Or "I don't know".

Version 0.16 is a standard version, which only supports one camera at a time. The Pro version will be released later.

The ad disappears once you register/buy. This will be possible in the next release :)

if i hook a camera to the firewire will that work to or is this USB only so far?

Anything will do, including firewire. Of course the PC needs to be able to cope with all of this. For 3 firewire cameras I need a Core 2 Quad.

I tried to connect 2 dv cameras to the firewire and viblaster will only see one and a web cam. where can i find a universal driver to be able to use the two dv cameras at the same time?

Don't know. I have heard of some others having the same problem. I have no problem using multiple cameras over firewire, even when they are the same. Tested on both XP and Vista. All I can say is that it's not a VidBlaster problem, but whether it is Windows, hardware or the camera itself I do not know. Try google.
