Video Tape to MBP?

[majordude]

How can I convert VHS to digital video?

I just use my EyeTV (usb tv tuner). I use the composite / svideo input and just click record. I can then export to mpeg2 / 4 and do what I want with it.

Same here. It's very easy to make your tapes into dvd's with EyeTV, iMovie, and iDVD.

Hmmm. I don't own that. If that is the best solution I'll check out the prices online. Thanks!

I was looking at the EyeTV 250... it runs USB (not FireWire). And the quality is still good? 😕 😱

If you have a DV camcorder with a Firewire connection you can run the video through that as well.

yes, I have used this method many times and have had great results.
