--- You wrote: Any digital camcorder with a VCR function will do the job (but your A/V card may do it too, you know). You just cable from your VCR to the recording device (digital camcorder or card), start recording and press Play on the VCR. The result is a digital recording of your analog tape. --- end of quote --- Are you asking the right question? Yes and no. "Any digital camcorder will do the job..." True, if you record to digital tape, then play back through the firewire. Not an efficient solution.
Some older Macs had a/v cards that could digitize video, but none of them are up the the quality of DV format video which is output by a digital camcorder over the firewire. Generally, to convert analog video to DV video you need an external ad/da converter, which can be purchased seperately, but is more economical if you get a camcorder that has a real time converter builit in. That was what you asked in the first place and it was the right question, I think. Rich -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
