Comments Cheno wrote on 4/27/2004, 8:04 PM According to a test by Douglas Spotted Eagle a year or so back, the ADS Pyro A/V link was voted best converter. (www.adstech.com) I own a Canopus ADVC-100 for my analog to digital converting and it performs without a problem.

I've digitized most of my analog 8mm stuff this way. I swear the saturation and overall appearance of the hi-8 stuff is improved in the process.

Before thinking about ADS Pyro take a visit to the ADS Pyro forum at COW. 1
