VCD burning: Use Toast. Hardware needed is some sort of capture USB device, like this:
http://www.usbgear.com/USB_Monitors_and_KVM.html Or this: http://www.ibuyernet.com/prod~id~246321~DAZZLE_MUTLIMEDIA_DM-2300.html Generally, you're going to want FireWire rather than USB, because of the speed (FW = faster, better resolution, etc.) I have no experience w/these products, but have heard of them. Imovie doesn't do the burning -- iDVD does, and you're correct in that it won't burn to an external DVD-R, afaik.
