Although it isn't technically supposed to, I have even hooked it up to a DVD player to import dvds (in-house, of course,) for re-editing with iMovie. One drawback is that the manual offers no tips on how to use the converter.

We are considering purchasing the ADVC110 as the only video conversion device that we would own in our Language Learning Center. We are looking for something that will be Mac-PC cross-platform compatible and a desktop unit (not a card) so that it is portable. The Canopus ADVC110 has gotten good reviews (at least the ones I've seen), but we are also wondering if the ADVC300 (with its much heftier price tag) is worth the extra money, or whether the added features go beyond what we would need to do basic good-quality analog-digital conversion.
