Does the job

Works as it should, just plug and play. I digitized 30 hours of 18-year old analog tape. Used the ADVC55 plugged into a MacBook Pro (firewire) and captured the video in DV format into iMovie.

Does what it says

No frills but the perfect way to import analog video into a computer. Plug the VCR in one end other end into Firewire jack, done! I used iMovie to capture.
