Has anybody had any experience with any of these Firewire video capture devices? I’m considering making a purchase and can’t find a good comparison.

PowerR Director’s Cut - $349.95
Formac Studio - $399.95
Hollywood DV Bridge - $259.95

Thanks for the help.

The Idiots did a review of the Hollywood DV Bridge:

It’s a funny piece too, of course.

Thanks for the link.
I suppose you do get what you pay for but I wonder if there is any difference in the video quality between products.
