I've used Seattle and the results are fair, Kodak photo CD is still my 
preference but Seattle is a little cheaper and quicker to get back. My 
biggest gripe with Seattle is they use a proprietary compression 
routine and you must use thier software to convert. Most of the 
photos of the Vanagon on my home page that
 Richard Kurtz got were from Seattle, the 
interior shots were camcorder captures. For real quick results the 
video capture devices for a laptop would be ideal but you get lower 
resolution.
But Seattle is kewlest way to go!
