Power R Director's Cut vs. Sony DMC vs. ForMac Studio

Of the three above listed analog to DV converters, I was wondering what everyone has found in terms of quality. I'm well acquainted with the features of these three, but is there any difference at all in quality of video that actually makes it onto the HD? Any other converters that I should be looking at? Thanks.

Take a look at the Hollywood DV bridge by Dazzle www.dazzle.com
You can find them for $259 in MacMall/MacConnection. It converts the signal well, you just need to have it turned on before you run iMovie/FCP for it to be properly recognized (it gets identified as PAL otherwise).
