You're quite right Dave.
Using the manufacturer's SW is indeed easier and faster and is useful for the small "quick and dirty" fixes.
PS is more complex and time consuming, but allows for much more control and flexibility over the finshed products.
Personally I am reluctant to use very large capacity cards, ie 4GB.
That's too much work lost should the unexpected happen, ie: flood!
Keep in mind that it's not if it's when!
I find that for me, 1 or 2 GB cards do well for a 2 hrs CCR dive.
I use Extreme lll cards for their speed and use in different environments ie" hot, warm and cold, both on deck and UW.
