Hi guys,
I have a bunch of tapes I would like to digitize on the mac and share.
I have a pristine VCR, all I need it seems is a video capture dongle (rca or other to USB)
Anyone could advise me on what to buy?

Actually, I have been using the 950Q with my Macbook pro to do the betamax captures... But I'm running Bootcamp to do that - booting straight into Windows 7 Pro instead of OSX.

EyeTV Hybrid is what I usually use for Mac. Basically a Mac version of WinTV (Hauppauge).

Both of those look good for TV recordings.
Is there one that can capture VHS via both s-video output and audio analog?

So reviving this thread. It appears there is not a high quality solution for the SECAM format.
The Elgato dongle is low res 640x480 (not even SECAM quality) with aac.
However, Pal & NTSC content indeed have a choices of boxes for high quality captures.
