Thanks for the suggestion, Peter. Yep, that's a bit pricier than I'm looking
for. What I'm attempting to do is connect an old camcorder (and other analog
sources) to an old iMac I plan to use to serve it up as a Webcam. So, I'm
looking for something simple and cheap - if such a device/adaptor/connector
exists.

Regards,
Jerry
