I need information on hardware/software used to connect a running
or still video image to a PC and digitize it into one of the
miscellaneous popular formats.  What is available/necessary to do
this sort of thing?  What would you recommend?  Are there any
products I should avoid?

I would prefer to do this on an ibm, but if stuff for the mac is
price-competitive, then it is a possibility.

Any information you have (products, companies, prices, etc.) is
quite welcome.  I know very little about interfacing video stuff
to computers...

Please reply to me (csa@sw.stratus.com) instead of or as well as
posting; I don't read these groups.  Also, suggestions for other
groups to post in are welcome.
