VideoLogic makes a box called a Mediator which can convert Macintosh's RGB 
or PC's VGA video signal to NTSC or PAL.  They also make plug-in boards 
for both the PC and the Macintosh that do the same thing.  The company info 
is:

Hope it helps.

Hello:

Can anyone comment on the possibility of creating QuickTime movies using
a NuVista+ board from TrueVision?  The board is a real-time framegrabber
and it would seem that it would be possible to create QT movies with it.
Is anyone aware of software that might permit this?

A related question: Is QT video capture software generic or video-board 
specific. For example, does Video Spigot come with its own capture & edit
software or is it generic with the appropriate drivers for the frame
grabber installed ?

I know how to play and otherwise manipulate QT movies I get from others
but I have never seen how they are created. I have a camcorder, frame-grabber,
and a color Mac with a big hard disk. What do I do?

Inquiring minds want to know....

Capturing a QuickTime movie with "generic" QuickTime compatible movie
recording applications requires a software module called a Video
Digitizer (VDIG).  Currently Truevision is beta testing a VDIG to work
with Apple's MovieRecorder and Adobe's Premiere 2.0, as well as DiVA's
VideoShop. QT assumes that all movie recording is done on a
video-in-a-window card and keeping these applications from putting their
dialogs on the capture screen has been very difficult.

VideoSpigot ships with a specific application to record images and
convert them to a QuickTime compatible format. Recently SuperMac has
started including their own VDIG to support other QT-compatible recording
applications.

Truevision will be shipping a copy of the final VDIG to all registered
customers later in October (or early November, depending). You can e-mail
a postal address to me to be included in that mailing. A reminder - the
software that we will be shipping will only be useful to customers with
either a Truevision NuVista+ or a Truevision NuVista Classic.
