Hey all.

I have a G5, and I'm trying to figure out the cheapest and most effective way to convert VHS tapes to digital audio that I can drop into iMovie and iDVD.

Simple as that.

What application do I need? What card and/or adapter do I need?

Cheap and effective is what i'm looking for.

Thanks,
Brad

The Apple Store shows 3 different analog-to-DV input devices for less than $300 (Formac, Canopus and Dazzle):

However, I would recommend buying a new or used DV camcorder with an analog input. This would allow you to convert your videos and have a camcorder to boot. More expensive, but a better investment IMO.

For ~$400, that's what I did
