Pinnacle's Video Archiver with Onboard MPEG-4 Compressor

When you touts a product as iPod- or iPhone-friendly, it instantly becomes the attention of a third of Americans. Here's a USB video capture that could sell a whole bunch to iPod folks. The Pinnacle Video Capture for Mac has an onboard MPEG-4 compressor that basically converts anything from its composite or S-video analog source, be it a ancient camcorder, PS2 or VCR.

See this as a speedy archiver for your decade-old tapes especially if you don't have an ideal machine config, like a duo core Intel. MPEG-4 does store three times more video than MPEG-2 with the same amount of space at about the same quality. Pinnacle didn't say whether the plug-in will work with iMovie '08 or not. In case the plug-in won't work, PInnacle has its own software to complete the job.
