#320780 - 30/03/2009 03:57 VHS video capture devices?
pedrohoon enthusiast Registered: 06/08/2002 Posts: 333 Loc: The Pilbara, Western Australia	Does anyone have a recommendation for a video capture device suitable for digitising VHS tapes using a VHS player (or even a standalone device if one exists)? Preferably via USB/FW, must work on a MacBook. Thanks. _________________________ Peter. "I spent 90% of my money on women, drink and fast cars. The rest I wasted." - George Best

pedrohoon enthusiast Registered: 06/08/2002 Posts: 333 Loc: The Pilbara, Western Australia	Thanks Andy, I have iMovie HD (version 6.0.3), so that should work fine with the ADVC55 or 110. _________________________ Peter.
