• 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.

Is there a device that lets me capture analog video to my PowerMac? Like a firewire to RCA cable or something. Also Is there a way to export video to analog, like from my extra DV-I port on my graphics card to my tv?

-Thanks

ps. if this belongs somewhere else please move it

I use a Canopus ADVC110... it was around $250.... It will convert any component anolog source, via RCA, to a firewire signal that you can digitize just like from a DV Camera. This will also output back to an anolog signal for putting it back on tape or displaying it on a TV.

The canopus gives an analog output, too. I was not aware of that.

Yeah it does... Actually the output is really good too.... Cleaner than the anolog input IMO. I use it for previewing on a TV while editing in FCP and it works great for it.
