[MacDV] Re: Hooking up RCA video to G5

[Paul Williams]

sb,

No, no DV cam or DV device of any kind. They're old beta tapes. I was 
hoping to just plug the Betamax into something and import them.

Is that possible? I figure any converter device would have to cost 
less than getting a DV record/playback device.
