"A great way to convert your old tapes and get them onto an iPod."
"The software provided with the Video Capture is very straightforward, and quickly guides you through the process of connecting the various audio and video cables. It asks you roughly how long your recording is likely to be and indicates how much disk space you’ll need to store the video file. When the recording is finished, you’re presented with simple ‘one-click’ button options that allow you to send the video file into iMovie for editing, upload it to YouTube, or add it to your iTunes library so that it can be transferred onto your iPod."
"VHS may seem like a bad dream, but many of us have stacks of old cassettes in a cupboard somewhere that deserve to be digitised onto the Mac for sharing. Elgato's Video Capture does just that."
