[MacDV] Digitizing cassettes

Likely a disaster waiting to happen!  Looking in the manual for my 
Optura 200MC I see that the MIC input requires a stereo electeret 
condenser microphone and appears much more sensitive than the A/V 
in-out terminal.  Likely you would either blow something out or fail to 
get enough signal to make much of a recording.  And I doubt there is 
any way to set the line-in recording levels.  Not to mention I'm sure 
the warranty may not be honored if they found out about this.  I second 
the motion of getting an iMic instead, if your Mac doesn't already have 
audio in :-); or if you're serious about doing good audio work, one of 
the MAudio PCI Audiophile or Revolution cards.

Regards,
