laser and satellite, to iMovie, iDVD, DVD, CD and iPods. –

single USB 2.0
device (no sound-in port required!).

interface to transform
any S-Video or RCA video source into QuickTime movies.

QuickTime captures
for use in iMovie, iDVD, or viewing on iPods. and TV!

software which integrates
capture and creation into one simple iMovie-line application. Unlike
iMovie though, VideoImpression works easily with smaller video sizes
