[...Q: Hardware for hooking your video camera to a Mac]

Both Computer Eyes and MacVision claim that scanning time is about 6
seconds, or longer for higher resolution scans.  Does this mean that
the person being digitized would need to sit perfectly still for 6+
seconds?

MacVision: Yes ! And that's an endless source of joy for my two daughters
who love to make distorted images of themselves.
Also, I cannot use the pause function of my VCR to digitize a specific image,
as the output of the paused tape seems to be way too noisy.
Other than that, a lot of fun for not too much money. Recomended.
