I'm familiar with recording sounds on Mac but would like to venture into doing some video as well. Is there a direct way to capture video from VCR (or other units like DVD player or Tivo) to 15' Powerbook G4 without any additional equipment? Does it just require cables from source unit directly to the Powerbook or is the only option additional hardware? I've been doing some Google searches and Canopus ADVC-100 seems to be discussed quite a bit - as is using camcorder. I do not have camcorder (and do not wish to buy one as I wouldn't use it) and thought perhaps there's a simple option to just hook the Powerbook to VCR, etc. Is having something like the Canopus (or camcorder) the only options? I have some family home movies on VHS (that were converted from really old 8mm films years ago) that I'd like to convert to play on computer, as well as, be able to make copies for other family members.

Kind of thought it might just a plug and play situation with current Macs. But I probably won't be so lucky as to have it be that easy!

The 8500 included a 120 Mhz 604 processor and 24-bit composite and S-video input and output. The processor of the 8500 shipped on a removable daughtercard. The 8500 came in a mini-tower case, sold for $4000, and was 'speed bumped' to 132 and 150 Mhz in April 1996. It was speed bumped again to a 180 Mhz 604e processor in August, and was replaced in early 1997 by the 8600.

If the original poster seeks a cheap solution, I would still advice him to try a 8500. And I know, it's a slow solution. I have the 8500, and a G4 GHz Powerbook, and I wouldn't recommend thinking about an 8500 either. Even with a G3 CPU upgrade, 500MB of RAM, faster SCSI HD, etc, it's still buggy for video capture, even at reduced size and frame rate. It makes an adequate live video monitor, however! A US$200-300 Firewire video box like the Canopus, ADS, or Datavideo will work beautifully with the Powerbook and is easily edited and DVD'ed with the free/low cost iApps. If you already have a Firewire DV cam, that can substitute.
