Canopus ADVC100 for VHS to Digital

[mdemetri2]

Hi....I haven't had much luck finding someone to convert VHS, so looks like I am going to have to try do this myself.

I managed to source a Canopus ADVC100 due to the possibility there is a 'trick' to bypass macrovision on a couple of VHS's I have - that aren't available on DVD.

Does anyone have any experience of this converter, and therefore offer advice on how best to set this up?

I've only got the device and the power adaptor, from what I gather I need a firewire cable to connect converter to laptop (complication is laptop doesnt have firewire! do converters work?). Depending on the VHS I source I expect I'll use either svideo or component or composite to connect it to the Canopus device.....

Any recommendations on what software to use for capture...assuming it works as expected!?

Thanks in advance for any help.
