Dear Listers, Back in mid June, there was a thread centering around the use of a Lombard for captureing VHS movies, editing them, and putting them on CD. The Lombard does not have a firewire port, but that didn't stop us from discussing various options, including the firewire "bridge" devices, and I did mildly suggest the Eskape Labs "MyVideo" USB product as viable.

I thus became aware that I am one of many here who are interested in the goal of VHS to VCD conversion. Today I was delighted to come across a very useful primer of the options and process for creating Video CD's. It's well written, organized, and within reach of a novice such as me. Please see http://www.1984-online.com/Macstuff/tips/makingmovies1.html I do not know how long that page will remain, since it was posted in January of this year; if you value it's comments, you better scribble them down. I was interested, in particular, to see the mention of two other "bridge" devices (aside from the Dazzle product which I do *not* recommend). They are the "Formac Studio" and the "Miqlia Director's Cut". Has anyone here used either of these two firewire bridges? With what success? My personal goal is to convert my voluminous VHS library. --Jim. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
