Hi Folks,

We've had a bunch of requests recently to digitize full frame clips  
from VHS and Laserdisc, for our film classes.  We've been trying to  
use a couple of Digital Converters from Canopus (ADVC 110 and 300),  
with disappointing results.  The clips were really unusable for a  
film course and file sizes were huge.  We're using a Mac-Pro and have  
tried recordings using iMovie, Quicktime and BTV.  Is there a problem  
with the software, or some settings we're missing?  Does anyone have  
other hardware solutions that have worked?

Thanks,

- Mike
