I was wanting to use my HC1 to convert some old VHS tapes to DVD, and I don't find any setting for analog to digital conversion. I know this is not the ideal camcorder to be using for this, but I would like to know if it's possible. Also does anyone know of any stand-alone converters that work well with Mac OS X Tiger? Thanks.

nope doesnt have it, i have my old zr80 to do that for me. works great too, just use "Capture Now" in fcp.

Thanks for the fast reply. Is it possible to record the anolog signal onto miniDV tape with the HC1?

yet again, nil. that would still require an a/d converter. the hc1/a1 can do dv-in, thats it.

I've got an ADS Pyro A/D converter which works well in Tiger & FCP - it was about $130 at CompUSA.
