I already have an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro All-In-Wonder 128mb VRAM AGP video card, but it is for a PC with only Windows bios drivers. I was hoping that I could re-flash it to use in one of my PowerMac's, but have not yet figured out which bios to use yet, or how to re-flash it without having

I can get a EasyCAP device for as little as $6.30, but it comes with software only for Windows PC's. I wonder if it would be recognized by Apple's iMovie, or iDVD software, or Toast 9 Titanium? It is cheap enough to risk buying and trying it out. I wonder how it could compare to a

I just ran across an ATI all-in-wonder 128 PCI graphics card that I plan on putting in my G4 MDD. It has S-video, composite video and TV tuner capabilities. These may be hard to find because they came in 16MB and 32MB video ram amounts. I would try ebay. Like you I have a bunch of old videos

I've used a couple of Elgato devices that input S or composite video and send it to a Mac via USB2. I used an earlier product and later the EyeTV 250 Plus. At the time I bought it, it said it required a G4 or higher but when my G4 died in the middle of a project I discovered a G3 worked with both

I don't know if the Digital 8 camcorder will play Hi8 tapes or not, but I do know that most Sony Digital 8 can be made to pass-thru analog video and output digital video as if they are an analog-to-digital converter device. You plug-in the analog device to the RCA jacks on the digital
