• 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 have an old sony handycam v8, dating back to early 1990s: CCD-TR6. i'd like to convert the tapes to digital. can anyone recommend a good device for doing that, that isn't too pricey? i'd like to get something that will convert not only v8 but vhs, so i can convert some of those old tapes as well.
i have a macbook running 10.5.6. any help appreciated--thanks much.

I bought a Sony DVD recorder for about $150.
Hook it up with out any problems.
Now I only need the time and the stamina to do it on weekends.

I've used my EyeTV Hybrid via the analog imput. That works ok but you have to export the result to something friendly in iMovie. You can do basic cuts in the EyeTV software, but for facier things you would need a video editor.
