Writers opinion:
  These USB devices depend on Proprietary software which runs only on 
Windows.
If you want to use MAc software such as iMovie of FCE or FCP your 
machine expects and demands that video be delivered via firewire ( 
unless you get a costly card).
There are no drivers for you for this unit for OSX or Mac in general.
A Dazzle unit with a Firewire output could work. ( not preferred tho')
I have a Sony converter. Canopus seems to be popular and there are a 
couple of other brands.
If someone gave you this thing, give it back.
If they sold it to you, take it back.
You really want one with a Firewire or iLink connector.
Opinion.
