Interesting.

Miglia is a new product for me.  I have used Dazzle for years, but recently added The Tube, Pinnecle TV, and of course can use the conversion features built into many of the camcorders.  The issue with most solutions is the signal noise introduced by compression of the signal to save disk storage space.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Terry, 

I`ve just been given an Easy Cap device for use with my PC which enables transfer from video sources (including from old VHS tape players up to DV cameras etc.) I know this was much less expensive than other alternatives as far as I knew when purchasing (about $50). My sister actually has paid for it as she wants me to transfer my old VHS tapes to DVD! Today I contacted Miglia- I have an older model TV Mini which shows free to air TV on my Macs (using Eye TV software). I bought a more recent model for my Father (the TV Mini Express using The Tube software) & he`s had trouble with it. The connector is loose & needs repair on his-mine`s still perfectly OK & it was bought in early 2007!
