Hi, This may be old hat, but I'm new and need to get a new set of equipment including laptop, camcorder, and digital camera. Just wondering, I've heard that you can directly copy off the t.v. by plugging in the Mac. Has anyone tried this? Reason: I'm in a rush to buy a camcorder and the salesguy rec that I spend extra $ to get a camcorder which can allow me to tape off the t.v. (helpful for old VHS tapes since I don't have a VCR) onto my laptop. However, I heard that the Mac's don't need the intermediary. I'd appreciate your advice.
