Capture Card for iMac

Hello there. I am looking for a Capture Card for my iMac. It will have to be a usb external capture card. I am looking to plug in my Analogue DV camcorder and record all of my films onto the hard drive of the Mac. I then want to be able to import the video into iMovie or iDVD where I can edit them.

Thanks

Greetings

I feel there may be some confusion here. You can't have an analogue DV (digital video) camera.

Is it a machine that records to tape? The content of the tape will be digital and you can import it straight into your iMac in the normal way - by Firewire.

I think he's trying to say he needs an analogue to digital converter. Like, say, from VHS or Beta into the Mac.

I'd suggest Elgato Video Capture.

There's also Blackmagic Design: Intensity

Sly:

That would be a recommended solution for HD video, but it's double the price of my suggestion (which, I should have clarified, was for SD, low-rez or pre-existing video like VHS, Beta etc). I'm sure Intensity is TOTALLY worth it for HD however.

Just looking at other options. There are not a lot of options out there AFAIK other than some of the Canopus line which is as expensive.
