Minimum specs for a Mac or PC laptop to digitize lots of family VHS, Mini-DV, and 8mm tapes and which input box and prog

Yep, pretty much any Mac with Firewire can do that, even a B&W G3 300Mhz. Though it will feel painfully slow otherwise.

With the type of video you have, importing is all done 'real time' so the speed of the machine doesn't make much difference.


I'd recommend transferring the imported video to whatever your main system is for any type of editing or conversion though.
