enough technical stuff (I'm a Mac newbie) to help you hook up your
camcorder to the computer.
XLR8's Interview will hook an analog camera into a USB port. Easy to 
use and
should be available on ePay or swaplist. I think I paid $30 new from 
XLR8.
It came with  a QT 5 Pro license.

But transferring over USB would be quite time-consuming - digital video 
takes up about 14GB per hour of uncompressed footage.
Look for a FireWire device, like the Dazzle Hollywood bridge. It's 
still a little pricey, it almost might be cheaper in the long run to 
get a digital camcorder to do the conversion.
I have converted some old home-movie VHS tapes to digital through a 
Canon ZR40, edited in iMovie and burned via iDVD on my FP800.
