I use a Canopus analog-to-digital converter box between my VCR and my Mac. The audio and video cables from the VCR connect to the Canopus, and then the Canopus connects to the Mac with a Firewire cable. I can feed video into either iMovie or Final Cut in the Mac. The VCR can play either VHS tapes or DVDs. If the VHS tape or DVD has copy- protection, a red light comes on on the front of the Canopus box. When that happens, I hold down a couple of buttons on the top of the Canopus for a couple of seconds until the light goes out, and then the encryption is bypassed and the movie feeds into the Mac normally. Other converter boxes may also be able to do this, but I do know that the Canopus ADVC300 can.
