Well, I wonder if it's worth > trying? I must have missed the beginning of this thread, but if you are using your friend's color camera to make a tape, using a color won't buy you anything. The color signals can be extracted from the tape to your Digiview by plugging the VCR into a color splitter like the Sunrize splitter, and then into your DigiView. Using a color wheel on the camera to make the tape won't accomplish anything. Your Digiview is only going to see a b&w video tape when you play it back, since it won't decode the NTSC color signals.
