There are three answers to this question: the no-money answer, the lo-money answer, and the correct answer. 1. THE NO-MONEY ANSWER No. 2. THE LO-MONEY ANSWER You can buy one of a handful of devices that imports video into the Mac via USB. You will hate it, it will suck and you will throw it in the garbage, but you will at least not have wasted much money on it (between $50 and $100). Might be acceptable for web-cam quality Quicktime movies the size of a postage stamp you want to put on a webpage, nothing else. 3. THE CORRECT ANSWER http://sonnettech.com/product/harmoni_g3.html A $300 upgrade to your iMac that gives you a dramatically faster chip and a firewire port. With this you can plug in video cameras and use iMovie, plug in a DAC unit like the Hollywood DV Bridge to convert analog tapes, use Toast to burn VCDs, buy and use El Gato's Eye TV and much more. _Chas_ Come to ...
