Title: Excellent Product with only Minor Glitches
Review: I bought this to move my old Hi-8 (super-8) tapes to my computer for archival storage. I have a fully loaded Mac Pro and I imported everything into iMovie HD using the DAC-200 unit connected to my 15 year-old video camera. Overall the conversion went easily and reliably - I was very pleasantly surprised. The only glitches I noticed were (1) the unit would sometimes cause iMovie to create a new clip for no apparent reason right in the middle of a movie; (2) very occasionally the incoming signal would get scrambled without warning, leading to a kaleidoscopic mess until I stopped and restarted the recording session. The first issue was minor and easily overcome at editing time. The second issue occurred only twice during about 20 hours of video conversion, so it was no big deal. I would say the unit did exactly what I bought it for and it was much easier than I expected with excellent quality. Highly recommended.
