G'day Nancy,
I am not familiar with iMovie, but I use Magix Movies on CD and DVD 2004.

It really is simple: just connect the VHS player to the input jacks of 
your computer, and Magix records and converts the signals received to 
digital.  It then allows you to edit, enhance and burn the results as 
either CD or DVD.

Good Luck
Max Hughes,
