I'm not clear on what you want to convert to or from MPEG-2, but it seems to me that -- unless you're converting between analog and digital, in which case some kind of hardware is necessary -- the only advantage of a hardware converter would be speed. Unless you're doing large amounts of whatever conversion would be accelerated by a hardware converter, your time and money would be better spent on upgrading your computer -- or a nice vacation. ;-) - Aaron >Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2006 17:38:22 -0600 >From: whoisquilty <whoisquilty at gmail.com> >To: "A place to discuss digital video on Macintosh." <macdv at listserver.themacintoshguy.com> >Subject: [MacDV] Hardware MPEG Converter >Reply-To: "A place to discuss digital video on Macintosh." <macdv at listserver.themacintoshguy.com> > >Does anyone have recommendations for a good hardware MPEG-2 converter >for the Mac?
