Recording video during endoscopic surgery can be hardware intensive and expensive. Traditionally, surgery has been recording using S-VHS or pricey DVD recording systems (that record only in MPEG-2 format).
The problem: find a way to record surgery on a laptop computer. Enter the DAC-200.
The DAC-200 is easy to setup. 1. Plug in the power. 2. Plug in a S-video or composite cable to the DAC-200. 3. Plug a firewire cable into your computer. 4. Open the video capture program ... Read More

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.

I've used the device to capture old VHS home movies and convert them to DVD. So far its worked flawlessly.
I have it connected to a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.4.10. The device was recognized by iMovie right away. I've had small issues with capturing a smooth video track, but I'm pretty sure its due to tracking problems from using old VHS tapes.
The device captures superb quality. The captured video looks great after I burned it to DVD.

I run my old VHS and VHS-C camcorder tapes through a time-base corrector and then through this and capture on my computer for transfer to DVD. Excellent results.
Also, since it's bi-directional, using Sony Vegas software I can mount this thing as a preview device to send the preview video out to a monitor through it. That's pretty cool since I don't have to render anything to see what the finished product is going to look like.
I would highly recommend this product.

Plug & play. Converting Hi-8 tapes to MPEGs in minutes. A couple of dropped frames from time to time, but nothing serious. Could be the computer.
