IMO the best way to go directly from analog video to DVD is with the USB Instant DVD for Mac device, under $200 at OWC: <http://eshop.macsales.com/Item_MailList.cfm?ID=5448&Item=ADSMACAV1750>
I made a very picky customer very happy after he had tried a number of other solutions (eg: vhs-FWbridge-DV-iMovie-iDVD-DVD.) It was the simplest solution of all, plus it produced the cleanest-looking DVDs. The resulting mpeg files aren't easily directly editable the way are DV files but the included SW does allow for trims and similar simple edits. Also the DVD authoring app, while perhaps not the equal of DVD Pro, is certainly flexible and at least as good as iDVD. And it lets you use any DVD burner you like, unlike Apple's iDVD. For anyone who just wants to move a ton of old analog video to DVDs I think it's hard to beat. hth, Dan K ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
