Title: Canopus ADVC-55
Review: Bought the Canopus ADVC-55 to transfer old VCR tapes before they degrade further. The transfer Works great, as expected! Well worth the money if have a good computer and appropriate Video software. I am transferring the VCR tapes from a Panasonic DMR-ES35V VCR/DVD thru the Canopus to an iMac 27" 2011 (Lion OS) computer with iMovie. iMovie easily recognizes the Canopus unit. I would suggest using the S-Video for transfers if you can, since you will get a better result. With the iMac you do not need the optional power supply for the unit. However, the iMac 27" 2011 computer does not have a Firewire 400 port, so you will need an adapter. I suggest the elago Firewire 400 to 800 Adapter for Mac. The Canopus also comes with a Firewire 400 cable.
