i know this discussion has been tooled over a lot, im just looking for people with hands on experience. i have lots of old vhs tapes i want to put onto my computer, edit them, then burn them onto dvd. since i have the aluminum macbook, no firewire (insert apple slander here ________). so that rules out the canopus advc110. id rather not convert vhs to dvd, handbrake, edit, then re-burn. so the only other options ive come across are the elgato250 plus, or the pinnacle video capture, both which transmit via usb. im a hobbyist, not a professional, but i would like to get the best quality i can (i know vhs already is sub standard quality) and i dont care much about the tv tuning capabilities of elgato. anybody use either of these two devices and have pros/cons/recommendations? thanks
