| Cheep Yet Good Quialty intel iMac Video Capture What is the best way to go about getting video from my TV/RCA cables (ps2, nintento, vcr, dvd ect) into my iMac? I am trying to put my home videos on my computer, and also maybe a few TV shows. I don't have 300 dollars to spend though, i'd like to do it for under 100 if possible ... is this feasable? speXedy

| for that cheap, i haven't seen any. the cheapest i've seen for a mac was a pci card, which is useless to you, but it was about 150. other than that, most usb devices are around 200 and up. i plan on getting an elgato eyetv 250 because it has a hardware encoder, as well as a video game console pass through setting for zero video lag.

| Some digital camcorders have a pass-thorugh mode where it will convert an input to a digital signal through the firewire. If you have a camcorder, I would look into it. Otherwise the EyeTV is a good bet. Looks like it supports svideo, coax, and audio in: http://img219.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cablevr3.jpg

| you can find it here, which is where i plan on getting it from. and yes, it has a tv tuner in it. and as far as rca, if you mean video(yellow), and audio left(red)/right(white), then yes, it has a brake out harness for that, and s-video. now if you mean componite rca video, which is 3 rca jacks for just the video(red/blue/green), then no.
