Hi,
Can any person direct me to the suitable software for converting my old analog video cassettes to Digital for uploading on to DVD. I have an old beige G3 mini tower with adequate ram and hard drive space running 10.2.6 with a suitable AV card installed. I also have a G4 MacMini and LaCie DVD burner. This topic must have been covered before but any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Hi John,

Basically you need a camcorder to record to from the VHS, then import the footage into iMovie, edit it and then import the edited movie into iDVD to make a DVD.

You connect VHS to Camcorder via S video connector making sure to connect yellow and red(s). Then just record from vhs to camcorder, this creates a digital signal which is required to edit in iMovie or FCP then burn via iDvD or DvD Studio.
