Which of these is the best source for DV ?

[Sean]

Which of these sources is best for eventual use in iMovie?

1)  analogue video on cable --> record to VHS tape (Hi-Fi, fast speed) 
--> later, play through DV camcorder --> iMovie via FireWire

2) analogue video on cable --> S-Video and stereo audio from cable 
converter --> record to DV camcorder --> play DV to iMovie via FireWire

3) analogue video on cable --> S-Video and stereo audio from cable 
converter --> passthrough DV camcorder --> capture 'live' to iMovie via 
FireWire

4) makes no difference, we're only dealing with 300 lines of vertical 
video resolution at best from an analogue video cable source.
