[Deja Q]

I know it can be done, but what is the best product out there to facilitate this?

Thx!

1. I bought ADVC300 -- my husband has used it successfully --

I haven't tried it yet...it is several years old by now. Bought it for a project that fell thru. I would do research and see if there is a newer/better product out there.

Hubby found it easy to use.

2. iMovie and iDVD

and some piece of equipment that allows you to get the VCR plugged into the mac.

3. Yes, there is some hardware that you can buy. I converted some Greek

tapes into digital using IONS's product. Here is a link to their VHS version:

Do a google search and get the company itself. I purchased my casssette to usb product through the company itself.

4. I was looking at the ADVC110.

I never got past the looking stage though.

I think it goes for about 200 bucks.

5. I use the Datavideo DAC-200

Had it for a few years. I also use it to convert cassette tapes to mp3. Not sure if it's made anymore but maybe you can find a used one on e-bay.
