Hi,
I have some material on my V+ box of a friend on TV. I want to get it onto my Mac so I can edit it and make a showreel for him.

How do I do this?

1). Is it possible to go straight from V+to a Mac. If so, how? Which cables and software do I need?

2). Or I could record from my V+ to a camcorder and then transfer from camcorder to Mac via FinalCut pro. I tried this but couldn't get the material from V+ to Camcorder. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

3) Finally, I could record to a DVD recorder, then rip the DVD with my Mac. But how would I do that? Which cables would I need? What make of DVD recorder? In Curry's they seemed to think a DVD recorder would not read the signal from my v+ box.

If anyone could help with this, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
