I am having a lot of trouble getting the Belkin USB VideoBus II to work on my TiBook (running os 9.2.2).

I got the latest drivers, but it still wont digitize at all with Strata DV (cant see it), VideoShop 4.5 (which was included) doesnt like OS 9 at all, and Premiere 6 wont capture any sound with the video, then it crashes.

If anybody has a work around for this, i'de appreciate it!

Thanks.

[bump!] Well, okay, it's only been 4 days since the original post, but I need to capure some video with my iBook/600 and have my trigger finger on the order button for a VideoBus II. At only $58.99 from http://insight.com seems like great deal.

Any comments about this product? I've had good success with Belkin in the past. No OS X support yet, but I can live without that for now.

Keep the rubber side down!

It's crappy. It won't work in OSX or in Classic. i had to install OS 9.0.4 on a separate partition just to get it to work and even then it's not very stable and after just a few uses (or just after one recording) it will crash and i'd have to restart to use it again. Besides Strata, a simple video capture app is included which is an upgraded version of Apple's old HackTV.

For a USB device it does pretty well at capturing video fps wise but the quality is bad and there's an odd banding that gets captured. i've owned the VideoBus I and II. i bought the II after my prior version had gone bad and wouldn't capture video properly anymore (captured video started to whiten out.)

i don't have anything online that was capture using the VideoBus II but to show the quality, or lack there of, of my older VideoBus check out only the Quicktime movies on this page. Please note the banding that shows up on the Simpsons movie, Bart, the Mother.
