Hi, I am looking for advice on what is the best way to burn dvd's of my
many hours of VHS video (currently standing at around 200+ hours) of
family stuff. I have a G5 Imac and a hi-fi stereo VHS player, just not
sure what the best way to connect the two is, and what the best
software
would be.

Either use a Canopus DV box (which will let you plug in your VHS
player, then firewire into your Mac), or invest in a DV camcorder that
has an analogue bridge function. The Canons are fairly cheap now, and
work well (in saying that, the bridge function of my MV600i no longer
works with iMovie 5 :-(, worked fine in iMovie4).
iMovie and iDVD are your best bets. Easy to use, and would have come
free with your iMac.
