(Just so I know what to expect so I don't get too disappointed.) You can actually digitize stuff off of video tape, but the frame that you land on must be really steady and have no vertical or horizontal jitter. In general, video tape has too little resolution and horizontal stability to be used for any quality digitizing. I have had decent results with the MacVision unit, but off-camera is much better (especially with a decent camera)! Since I have spent a lot of time digitizing non-flexible or non-flat things, the Thunderscan is out of the question. Gary
