If you have a Sony DV camera of recent vintage, and I think that Sony is the only brand, you can connect your VCR to the camera, and connect the camera to the Mac via firewire. With iMovie2 running, you can import the video from your VHS tape directly into iMovie2. (There is a setting on the camera's menu to do that; it's in the camera manual and in David Pogue's iMovie2 Missing Manual.) No need to record onto the camera's digital tape (it's only 30 minutes max anyway). I have done it several times and it works fine.
