I use the Elgato EyeTV 250 Plus (something like that). I'm using it with a G4 mini which is somewhere around the performance of a Dual 1 GHz. It can handle recording. It bogs down a bit when trying to do two things at once (recording and playback for example) but only the playback suffers. I mostly use it for recording off the air but I have used it to record VHS tapes too. I bought it from www.macsales.com at a pretty good price as a refurbished unit. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

The Canopus products get excellent reviews on Amazon, esp.

Re: Will it work on a MDD?
If you want to go the USB route, there are cheaper solutions that do just what the Roxio does. I use a device called "iGrabber," which works perfectly for capture off VHS tapes. I've used it successfully with a 1.07GHz iBook G4, so your dual MDD should have no problems with it. The files it spits out will work fine in iMovie. http://www.amazon.com/Geniatech-One-Touch-Video-Grabber/dp/B002LRMOPO Chance Linda wrote: basically all I want to do is copy my VHS tapes and make DVDs.

Re: Will it work on a MDD?
I think the ADVC-300 worked on my old 1.5GHz PB G4, but I don't know if the dual models would work. Sent from a computer running either the SPARC, Itanium, or PowerPC architecture.

Re: Will it work on a MDD?
To solve the VHS to DVD task, I decided on the more expensive ADVC-300 which functions externally to my Quicksilver 2002 Dual 1GHz under 10.5.8, and communicates via FW400. Along with Final Cut Express 4 to Capture and add Chapters, I needed the iDVD that comes in iLife 09. Researching how to accomplish the conversion, I read that since USB works in bursts of data transfer, it doesn't work as well for video conversion as Firewire. This ADVC300 solution is quite a bit more expensive, but works quite well. Maybe others will comment ... -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
