Digital video/analog converters

[sb]

#1. Canopus - best conversion comes as either a PCI version ($200) or
standalone box
#2. Miglia Director's Cut - also very good quality
#3. Sony (no longer being manufactured) - same as any Sony camcorder
#4. DataTech Video - high quality, good tech support, has a YUV version for
betacam - dv

others: Formac studio (poor tech support and inconsistant operations) and
Dazzle Hollywood Bridge (not recommended) - bad tech support, poor
functions.
