• 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.

RCA in?

After searching and searching for almost a year, i've finally got my hands on a Panasonic NV-VZ10!

Now I need a way to capture footage off it :bone:

Is there anything out there that'll work both on my Powermac and my Powerbook? Thanks.

IIRC iMovie will ONLY work with a FireWire capable video camera.

It's an analog VHS-C Camcorder circa...1997. I'm not intending to use iMovie.

Then I'm not sure what you need to do. I'm not even sure you CAN hook it up...

see link.. that would be how you can hook it up to your powerbook..

you could also use a black magic card for the powermac.

Mmm. That's exactly what I need, but unfortunantly i'm on the other side of the world (Australia) :eek:neye:

The picture from the VZ10 is amazing. Being VHS the quality isn't anywhere up to par with some of the newer cams, but it has a certain...retro aspect to it that (I think) looks absolutely awesome.

I think you could use any of the products from elgato designed for analog input. Check out the EyeTV 250.
