How to Connect a PCTV device/

I have just purchased an IMac G5 and I am trying to download video from an analog camera. I also recently purchased a Pinnacle PCTV Pro USB device to donload my camera into the computer. Unfortunately it only seems to work with my Windows computer. I really need some way to get my analog information into the IMAC G5 to edit. Can any one help me to figure this out?

IMAC G5, Mac OS X (10.0.x)

Welcome to Apple Discussions!

First off, the iMac G5 came with Mac OS X 10.3.5. So either you have the wrong operating system in your profile, or you don't have an iMac G5. Secondly, assuming you have an iMac G5, is your analog information on VHS tapes? If it is, I highly recommend returning the PCTV device, and getting an Elgato EyeTV 200, as that's what I use with my iMac G5 to get VHS tapes over to my Mac. It has both coax and S-Video connections and will convert such signals to Firewire.
