There is a "More about... Realtime DV and MPEG-2 Editing on Matrox RT2000" link at the bottom of page http://www.matrox.com/videoweb/enduser/rt2000.htm
It seems aimed at clearing up some confusion about the RT2000 that has come up in forums on the net.
Some key points:
"You can record your program to analog tape in realtime over the composite or Y/C output."
"RT2000 can output to DV tape, directly from the Adobe Premiere timeline, in realtime in certain cases and in near realtime in other cases." They go on to explain what "near" realtime means in some detail.
"RT2000 creates an MPEG-2 AVI file (with an IBP GOP structure as required for DVD authoring and distribution application) from MPEG-2 I-frame or DV projects in two to three times realtime regardless of the number of effects they contain."
"Finally, Matrox does not plan to sit idle after the first release of this product. We are currently evaluating ways to improve output speed in subsequent software releases."
I presume that the "subsequent software releases" will be free driver upgrades. It would be nice to verify this as otherwise one may wish to put off buying the product until they improve it.
