seen this at a mac xpo set up like this: iMac -> myvideo box -> vhs video player plugged in via s-video and audio into the iMac's audio port. we were capturing video (think it was a james bond movie!) at 320x240 at a pretty darn acceptable data rate. quality was as good as the vhs original. pretty sure it will capture at higher frame rates. the only thing to check is the usb connection - pretty sure they we're bringing out a usb 2 version with much improved quality. you'd have to get a usb 2 pci card but i imagine it would be worth it. hth, jake > -----Original Message----- > From: G-List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > M.A. Cline > Sent: 03 March 2004 11:55 > To: G-List > Subject: How do you Transfer VHS tapes to computer > > > HI all, > > I've got lots of old movies on VHS, that I would like to > transfer onto my > new G4 and burn on DVD, but how do I do that?
