I'm looking for a decent (not an arm and a leg) video player that will allow me to send VHS to the computer via DV Raptor. The deck needs to have a IEEE 1394 port. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I know there are several products available that allow you
to convert an analog source (like VHS) into a digital DV
stream on the fly. I do not remember the names or brands
of these products though. Perhaps someone else does. It
might be wise to post this in the General DV Discussion
because it really is not a platform issue.

Good luck!

Canopus ADVC will do exactly what you want for around US$300

There's also the Hollywood Bridge by Dazzle, a little cheaper, although don't know how it stacks up to the Canopus, quality-wise.
