Does Canopus ADVC100 work with Movie Factory?

I have tried the Canopus ADVC55, which does not work with MF according to Mr Chien, does anyone know if the next model up, the ADVC100 works with MF? I have a chance to buy one rather cheaply but do not want to waste my $$.
Many Thanks

I'm not sure why the ADVC55 isn't working for you -- it should, and so should the ADVC100. They are analog-to-dv converters, and you should be able to capture the converted dv video via firewire to your computer as dv .avi videos.

Here's a post with at least one person using the ADVC55

As George says it should work.

Do you get the new hardware found ballon and ping?

Yes, the newer model Canopus ADVC-110 does work well with MF4 (recognised as MSDV) and MF5 (recognised as DV). The quality is marginally better than my Canon DV camera AV/DV passthrough when capturing VHS tape to AVI.
