Liberty: getting analog in and out

[garymcnally]

I know you can do it with the proper camera, but has anyone had any luck with one of the small analog to DV converters like the Canopus AVDV 110?

Hi Gary,

I bought one a few days ago, but it didn't come automatically with a power supply so I had to order one separately. Should be here in a couple of days and I will report back.

Seems odd that it wouldn't come with a power supply, but the reason is that you don't need one when using a 6 pin firewire cable with a computer. Then, it fires right up. Unfortunately, it did not work with a 6 pin to 4 pin cable going into the Liberty.

Gary,

Got the power supply yesterday and ran my first test. Went into the ADVC110 via RCA, out via 6 pin to 4 pin firewire cable into my Liberty. Worked like a charm. Very stable. Was able to edit a 2 hour project down to about an hour and 40 minutes and burn it to DVD without a hitch.

Thanks Chet, for the suggestion to try the ADVC110.
