I have a Sony DV camcorder that allows you to input analog video and
output digital file through the firewire connection. The conversion I
did was from 8mm digital to DV but you could just as easily use a VCR
as your source.
My thoughts on what camcorder to buy, I would purchase HD and use to
think tape was the way to go but I am favouring SD card models now.
The quality of the video is great, too bad iDVD can't burn HD DVDs yet
but Toast can burn HD on regular DVD disks or Blueray if you have
access to one of those burners. If that is going over the top I would
buy a DV camcorder as it will be a cheaper solution than an analog
camcorder plus conversion box with the added benefit of much higher
video quality. If you look through the flyers you can get a DV camera
using mini DV tape for around $200.
