[Dixielandjazz] Video transfers for editing old VHS

[Edgerton, Paul A]

You need a video capture device, which then plugs into your computer.  I
think they run about $100, and will accept any normal video signal.
There are versions with USB or FireWire, plus PCI cards.  I couldn't
advise which type to get for your Mac, so be sure to check
compatibility.

Thanks for the off-list suggestions, however it's not so simple as
getting a
DVD/VHS machine. Those DVDs cannot be EDITED.
I'm looking for someone with some high-tech knowledge of how to get from
a
VHS to a DATA file that can be edited in iMovie. The files would need to
be
on a CD, not a DVD (which can only be viewed but not edited).

Trying again...
