Well Gary, you can do it the long way like I did a few years ago.
Basically you need a camcorder (with DV IN/OUT) to record to from the
VHS, then import the footage into iMovie, edit it and then import the
edited movie into iDVD to make a DVD.
You connect VHS to Camcorder via S video connector making sure to
connect yellow and red(s). Then just record from vhs to camcorder,
this creates a digital signal which is required to edit in iMovie or
FCP then burn via iDVD or DVD Studio.
How I got all my VHS tapes to DVD:
I had a Sony DCR-TRV320E camcorder, so my Instructions might be a bit
different.
Your DVD/TV setup & your Camcorder might be different from mine.
You use a i.Link cable (DV connecting cable) or a Audio/Video cable.
Set the Camcorder's Menu ... DISPLAY set to LCD?
Below is how my old Camcorder worked:
1.If it's a i.Link cable, Connect this cable to DV IN/OUT on your
Camcorder and DV IN/Out on your TV (With Digital-to-Digital
connection, video & audio are transmitted in digital form).
If it's an Audio/Video cable, connect this cable to Audio/Video
ID-2 on your Camcorder & the other end which has a Red, white & yellow
to the TV Audio/Video out.
2. Set your Camera to VTR
3. Press REC & the button on its right simultaneously, then
immediately press the PAUSE button.
4. When your DVD is playing on TV .... press your Camera PAUSE button
again,where you want to start recording from.
5. The picture from the TV appears on the LCD screen on Camera(if you
have it open).
6. Press STOP on Camera when finished recording.
Once you get the DVD onto your camcorder, then it's easy, just import
into iMovie, Edit your footage and create a DVD in iDVD or Toast.
Cheers,
Ronni
