Elgato Video Capture Records Analogue Stuff Directly to the Mac

2:20AM May 9, 2009 | Jason Chen

Elgato’s Video Capture takes in analogue video—RCA or S-Video—and captures it directly to Macs via USB.


It’s useful for converting VHS tapes, set-top box recordings, older camcorders and various other analogue sources to H.264, which you can then transfer to iPods, iPhones and PSPs, depending on what you have. The Video Capture costs $US100, but is probably worth it if you have a lot of old VHS tapes of MacGyver and Wings to transcode. [Elgato]

    also a viable way to capture videogame footage, provided you use a tv then split the signal to this device (i can imagine the processing would be delayed on your computer).
