For locked audio, digital/analog conversions (either way) WITH Firewire (which is key for dumping video) check out the Canopus ADVC-100. The best device under 300 in my opinion. I got it for 249 at a local pro video dealer. http://www.canopus.com/US/products/advc-100/pt_advc-100.asp <html><DIV> <DIV> </DIV></DIV></html> ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Dr. Trevor J.

For my own knowledge and learning, could you explain how this proposal for analog video to DVD is better than using EyeTV for the task? EyeTV saves to drive in MPEG1 format, if I understand correctly, and from that you can edit and then save as QT, VCD or DVD.
