To import analog video into your Mac you will need an analog to digital converter (See links below). Ensure that the converter's out connector will match your Mac's input (USB2 or FireWire) .
AC3 is a digital 'audio compression' scheme. To understand the difference between AC3 and (enhanced) AC3 Plus, click the link: Audio Compression in the Related Links section below.

False - Apart from Analogue, it also includes Digital, Cellular and VOIP (Where a VOIP call has to tranverse the public network to reach a standard/cell telephone.)

A DVI-D cable is a digital video display connector used in computers. It supports the same resolutions as VGA which has been the analog standard for many years. Digital signals do not suffer from timing errors that can sometimes reduce the clarity of an image delivered with VGA. Note that there are two other formats. DVI-A uses the DVI connector but it carries an analog signal identical to that of VGA connector. A DVI-I carries both digital and analog signals and therefore provides two video links within the same cable. Finally, DVI digital signals are compatible with HDMI video signals. DVI does not carry sound in either digital or analog video formats whereas HDMI supports sound within the same cable.
The answer depends on a number of factors. Firstly, it depends on what the original audio source is. If the source is an analog one, connected via RCA or phono connectors, then a digital optical audio input may be an improvement. In most cases, video equipment today uses a digital source so the audio will be in a digital form until it is converted to analog and fed to the RCA connectors. If an optical link is used, the digital data is preserved until it reaches the amplifier inside the television where it is converted to analog. The analog conversion always happens somewhere before the sound is delivered to the speakers so it is impossible to keep the sound in a digital form all the way through the signal chain. Although digital audio has been hailed as a way of improving quality, the quality loss in a pair of RCA cables is minimal so telling the two apart will be difficult or impossible in most situations. If an optical link is being considered as an alternative to HDMI, there is no benefit of any kind. Both carry audio as a digital signal so there will be no difference in quality. Both will be converted to analog for amplification and until that time, the signal data will be identical, regardless of the route it takes. Note: Audiophiles will say that digital audio data can be affected by the type of cable or optical link used or by the cable used for analog links. These claims have not been proven or dis-proven. The answer above ignores claims of this type as the effects are so minimal that most are unable to be measured by any conventional test equipment.

The key difference between the two is in the layout. In particular the type of grass they use and the look and feel.
The data across the wire is being sent in 1s and 0s. 1s mean on and 0s mean off. Digital signals are moved in a up down almost perfect rhythm. Analog shows data in jerky signal and its harder to read. That is why when analog power goes into your system from the wall jack it is converted into digital power.
