Does this device like this one exist for Macbook?

Question

I found this device and its exactly what I need to convert my analog Hi-8 videos to my hard drive. Only problem is that its not compatible with a Macbook. Does anyone know something like this that I can purchase for a Mac, that doesn't cost an arm and three legs.

Here is the link to the item:

Answer 1

Another option is to use a Sony Digital Hi8 camcorder if you can find one. Don't forget to buy a 4 - 6 pin firewire cable with it.

Answer 2

The Canopus Analog/Digital bridges will provide much better quality - and iMovieHD will recognize that video is coming in the firewire port:

The ADVC55 or 110 should meet your needs.
