Video Bridge for Windows

Installed two options for creating a video bridge for cameras on our PC Platform. Neither worked to our liking. The Director Xtra we're using would connect to the DVcam directly on the PC but would only take a 640x480 video stream instead of the 720x480 coming out of the camera. The installed software "translation" drivers would either degrade the signal too much (to 320x240) or crop the image to such as well as retaining interlacing and other non-desirable effects. This caused us to bring up the idea of dropping the PC in lieu of another Mac as our second computer.

I also noted discovered some issues with video and Shockwave 3D objects not working on the PC and Mac as they had before.
