[Ti] Importing analog video into Ti Book

[Pedro Vera]

Only a few select Teletubbies are available on DVD (last time I checked it was 3 or 4, and one 
scares him eve two years after we bought it). Later this year I am going to upgrade my Ti Book 
to a superdrive but the source will be analog video from a digital cable box. The Dazzle looks 
perfect but it is overkill, which explains why the MSRP is $249.

Thanks,

Pedro Vera
