CAPTURING OLD VIDEO TO MAC.

[ding76uk]

I have several old videos I want to capture to my computer for archive purpose as well as to edit and put on to DVD for friends and family.

I need lossless capture and I need to be able to edit these in IMovie and Final Cut Express.

Any ideas what I need to be able to do this?

Cheers in advance

cheapest solution is a thing called easyCap, you can purchase it from ebay here:

or loads of other ebay auctions. No-one ever says they work on mac but as long as you are on 10.5 and not 10.6 all you need to do is purchase Videoglide software for about £30:

and you can capture it in Quicktime Pro.

I've done it many times. There are other more expensive options
