I figured it out and I do have a firewire.

Next step to buy a Canopus ADV300.

Thanks.

If I understand you correctly, the older video cameras can receive VHS output and pass through to the computer….that’s pretty funny, since I just gave away my old video camera.

Since I don’t have a video camera, is there an alternative option.

In what format will the VHS files be converted to via the camera or other option.

Also, you feel its best to do all the editing and when done render in MPG format. I assume this is to reduce losing quality?

Comment: lets say I convert 10 VHS tapes to 10 videos. What’s the best way to combine clips from different videos short of importing the different videos and doing all the editing.

Note: what I did before was create individual clips but obvious that’s not the best way.
