Hi,
another alternative would be a PCI capture card such as the Miro'
DC30+, but I am not sure if it works also with OSX or only with OS9.
This cards used to cost a fair bit of money once upon a time, but I
guess they would be way cheaper now, maybe even just a few bucks.
Has anyone had experiences with these?
Cheers
Andrea

Well, the only realistic way is to have some sort of video
capture hardware. I know nothing about your G4 (my "advanced"
machine is a G3 Minitower), but if you don't have a "video-in"
port, you will need to add something, either a PCI card or
an external device. Neither are free!

I'm not looking for something free, and I am limited in PCI slots. The
boxes are $400 and up. Surely there must be something out there that
can hook up the VCR in an inexpensive way.

I didn't mean to imply that you were trying to do it "on the cheap" but
rather that the PCI cards and capture boxes are rather expensive, as
you noted. I have seen a few advertised, in MacMall I believe, for
something in the $200 range.
