• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Hi,

I'm a MAC newbie, and I would like to know if any video capture device I find on the Internet will work with my G4 MAC or I have to buy specialized products ?

Thanks !

Sam

Your Mac's Specs
MBP - 895LL/A - 15.4" Santa Rosa C2D - 2GB RAM - 120 (onboard), 500GB ext FW/eSATA/USB2 HDDs
No need to buy "specialized" products. Your G4 should be fine with a vidcap from Elgato or Pinnacle (I recommend Elgato; I have the EyeTV 250 Plus and the EyeTV Hybrid on two separate workstations - one being my home theatre setup). The hardware is fast and powerful; the software (eyeTV 3) is amazingly simple to use and very intuitive.

Cheers!
