If you have a camcorder, you should be able to use it as a conduit, connecting the analog cables from the vcr to the camcorder and outputting to the Mac with a firewire cable. It may also require some setup on iMovie or whatever other software program you might be using. Anyway that's the only way I can transfer vhs tapes directly to my iMac.</div><div><br></div><div>Jonathan</div><div><br></div><br><div><div>On May 14, 2008, at 5:27 PM, Leila F.
