Here's a thought... Move your Mac closer to your VCR & turntable or move your VCR & turntable closer to your Mac. Rearranging your house can give you a whole new outlook on life. I moved my computers over to the other side of the room and now I can connect to our entertainment center - DirecTV-Tivo, VCR and DVD player. I have to use an external firewire drive enclosure to bridge the gap between the computers and the A/D converter (and duck under a cable to get to the storage room door when I'm connected), but it's only a minor inconvenience. -- Wade Tinney
