Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations about video editing
hardware/software to transfer VHS to Mac via firewire/usb.  Any good and/or
bad reports greatly appreciated - cheers.

Depending on what level of editing you need to do, I find iMovie to be pretty good (and better at outputting to some DV cameras than Final Cut Pro :) Don't forget iMovie can be beefed up with third party effects plug-ins.

For those not afraid to do some basic scripting to 'roll their own' effects I find VideoScript to be pretty useful too...

QuickTime Pro is also useful if you want to cut and paste bits of movies together. There are a number of similar tools listed at

A copy of iMovie 4 & iDVD - The Missing Manual is also a good stocking stuffer :)

Have fun,
