So far, mostly a traditional Analog S-video to DV25/IE1394 converter like Canopus ADVC 110 has been mentioned (not sure why it's only myself that has mentioned the quite similar and even lower cost Datavideo DAC-200?) But I have discovered an interesting option to the above DV25 method: Sensoray.com has made a converter for Analog to MEG or MJPEG video. The current Model 2250 is based on USB 2.0 connection. All the software (drivers, sample applications, etc) that pertains to the 2250 is free with the purchase of the 2250. They also may release a product that is similar to 2250 but is Firewire based and that will have 4 channels (instead of 1 for 2250) so that each channel could be compressed simultaneously. The real nice thing is that it doesn't only support Windows, they have added Linux drivers, application and SDK: http://news.thomasnet.com/fullstory/482262 http://www.sensoray.com/products/2250data.htm I should like to hear what do you think about this option?
