It also has an S-Video i/o port. This tells you nothing about its transcoding capability. You need to know if it will PASS THROUGH analog input digitally out the i-link/FW/DV port in real time to the Mac without a tape in the recorder. Test with your camera between Mac iMovie and a VHS deck. I believe the camera just needs to be in simple passive VCR on mode. That DEMO someone is trying out of the obsolete and VERY OLD Premiere 6.0 will not let one capture video as was rightly pointed out by Chris. I don't know if I am confusing two strings or not. Pardon me if I am. k On Thursday, June 19, 2003, at 02:44 PM, Tom Nugent Jr wrote: > At 4:45 PM -0400 6/19/03, macnews wrote: >> Does this camera have analog to video conversion? > > They claim that you can do analog to digital conversion, but I haven't > tried it yet.
