Huh? If NTSC, almost all Mini-DV camcorders out now accept
analogue inputs, and some will even convert A->D (all convert
D->A) on the fly (no need to record on tape first,
before sending video out the FireWire cable to the
computer). Many auto-switch the single set of 3-RCAs and
"S" jacks from output to input when the camcorder is in
VCR-Record mode...
