	I used to use the Visionary to capture video images which I'd then 
edit on my Macintosh, since my Mac had no video input.  It's been a while 
since I did this stuff, but, if I remember correctly, the best way I found 
to do it was to use Seven Hills SuperConvert to turn the visionary files 
into Macintosh compatible TIFF files, and then edit them with whichever 
Mac program I wanted.  You had to save the visionary files in their RAW format
and then create the TIFF from the 24 bit internal (non-displayed) SuperConvert
video - not from a 16 color dithered display.  This way, you could get
all of the color possible to your Macintosh.  If you want to see the results,
surf to http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/ppietro - the images came
out pretty good, considering all the steps involved.
	Hope this helps,
	Paul Pietromonaco
