It looks like EyeTV will. I've been looking around also.

I use the Dazzle Hollywood DV bridge with BTV, though it also works with iMovie and FCP. I got it from buy.com, which used to be a nice place to shop online, for 229. I use it exclusively in OS X and have no problems with it. I get kind of an audio hiss from VHS tapes, but I'm pretty sure that's on the tape.
blackmail is such an ugly word. I prefer extortion. the X makes it sound cool

This used to be the XLR8 Interview. Costs about $40, IIRC. It's what I use for everything these days, and I own a Dazzle, too. The guy who runs the company is very helpful, as well.

Cheers

I'm one of the stupid people waiting for the even more stupid Aurora Video Systems people to port over the stupid OS X drivers for my stupid Igniter card for my stupid Dual 1Ghz DDR G4. I must be stupid, stupid, stupid.

if you have a DV camera that can convert RCA input to firewire, i would go with BTVpro, its 40 bucks, 20 for the just BTV which would do what you need, but the Pro version has extra things like motion detection, which i use daily as a survalance system. I love knowing that my mac is protected. It also supports MPEG 4 so compresion is not a problem, I record all the footage to a hidden external firewire hard drive so that if they do steal my stuff, i have the footage of them doing it.... cant do that on a pc...
