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.

The Canopus products get excellent reviews on Amazon, esp. Mac

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.

I think the ADVC-300 worked on my old 1.5GHz PB G4, but I don't know if the
dual models would work.

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 ...

Great! I already have one of those. Looks like I might have to get iMovie 9 
though.

What procsssor do you have in the Dual MDD?

It's either the 1 GHz or the 1.25 GHz. I'd have to check when I get home.

it says it is for dual G-5, but I'm wondering if it would work on a dual MDD
