    I need to capture analog footage for editing in FCP. Can anyone recommend any good hardware for the Mac?

    Thanks

    Canopus ADVC-100 or -110.

    Thanks. I'll check them out. What do you think of the ADVC-300?

    I have the ADVC-110 and I've never had a problem with it. It runs natively using Final Cut Pro or iMovie. Colors and quality are as good as can be from the VHS source. For consumer analog in it's probably the best out there. You should also have a fairly good VCR for playback into the Analog In device, that also matters, but without buying a Time Based Corrector this is probably the best you'll get.

    I haven't tried the ADVC-300 but it's Canopus, the breakout box is probably comparable in quality to the 110.
