Anyone have any suggestions on cheap and easy ways to get video into a Mac? I played around with a friend's Sony digital camcorder, but $500-$1000 is a little out of my price range for what amounts to a fun toy for saving some tv shows to disk.

So, anyone know of any video input peripherals for the Mac that will give me decent video quality that won't break my bank ($200-$300)? Thanks!

The Aurora Fuse ($500.00) is a great solution for high end stuff. http://www.auroravideosys.com/Pages/aurorafuse.html

The Formac Studio ($429.00) is another option. http://www.formac.com/html/shopforma...roducts_studio

The Dazzle DV Bridge ($300.00) is in your price range. http://www.dazzle.com/products/hw_bridge.html

And for mindless fun Formac has the ProTV Stereo ($99.00) http://www.formac.com/html/shopforma...oducts_tvtuner

Keep in mind most analog video capture cards aren't supported in OSX yet.
