here is another idea *if* you have an external firewire drive- get a mac
7500 for about $75. Its has AV & s-video in. Add a firewire card for $30.
Not capture stuff from your HS in your old Mac! In fact, I cant figure
why people spend lots more money when the asy way to do this....assuming
you have room for a spare convertor & an external drive.
cheers!
