Robert, Event though it seems that going back to re-inputting your VHS tape into your mac via a digital converter may seem backward, it is truly the easiest, and highest quality way to go. You can rent the converter, or call a local video editing club and ask for a volunteer to do it for you. VHS directly to iMovie is the best way. STeve Woods Intro ----- I'm new to the list and new to video editing on the Mac. I tried searching TheMacintoshGuy.com archives for information pertinent to my rather daunting task, but the archive was a single gzip'd file that contained two messages? Previous searches on the internet failed to locate a comprehensive tutorial that worked through the steps listed below. All I could find was a little nugget at a time. Anyway. Hopefully, someone will take up my rather daunting challenge and lend a hand. Even a small snippet would help.
