I agree with David that shooting you VHS on a monitor is a good idea and its probably the easiest way of dealing with the workflow problem. I have never seen VHS uprez to HD, but it can’t be pretty.
I don’t think there’s special steps to follow except that you do a clean install of the OS wiping all the info from the HD. After u do all the updates of the OS you need, install your FCS apps and updates and there u go u have a clean install of FCP. Don’t forget to back up all your project files before you do this.
I think Walter is right about iPig because here in Canada we are in the middle of a bacon shortage and they say we are gloing to get some by the end of April and it coincide with the end of NAB so I think we can expect something big.
Just check Peter Wiggins results from a couple of week ago. The Universal version seems to be very fast on the MacBook Pro. Peter even talks about it in the podcast #29 of CreativeCow.

All we have to do is wait for the reviews from NAB because like a lot of new products, it looks good, but i’m sure theres restrictions, drivers and issues with other hardware. It looks promising though.
