[MacDV] Breaking DVD film up into clips

[Dominion Market Research]

I'd think the quality being passed to FCP would be better...or at 
least as good as VHS gets...would be found by going from your VHS 
tape to a digital camcorder either in pass through mode or recorded 
on digital tape and then captured by FCP.
