[iBook] Mac friendly DV cameras?

[Benjamin Kennedy]

Tom,

Check out the eyeTV from El Gato (www.elgato.com). I bought the 
original USB model when it first came out and it's great for TV as well 
as other analog video via RCA plugs. Be aware however that it encodes 
the video as mpeg, which means that to edit it in iMovie or a similar 
program you'll have to convert it to dv with something like Quicktime 
Pro.
