Video to DVD transfer?

[Jonathan Dembling]

It will depend on what outputs the vcr has - if it's an old one it  
probably only has rca jacks, but to capture video on the Mac I believe  
you can only use the firewire port. 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.
