it's viably sound, except for the fact that it records VHS directly to mpeg-2,
which means you couldn't put the files into iMovie/FCE/FCP without using MpegStreamclip
to transcode to DV Stream, or elgato's VHS Assistant Software.
It would be nice just to have the option to encode directly in DV, if you have an
ample HD for Scratch Disc space.....
I don't recall editing in FCP/FCE to be a requirement of the project. This setup is great for TV recordings and straight transfers.
it wasn't smurfy, I was just pointing that out for the newbies who
might later on STF for the El Gato and want to know about the possibility
of it doing such a feature.

As we all know posts last forever on the internet.......
