If you have access to a camcorder with playthrough (analog-to-digital 
conversion) capability, like my Canon ZR 40, for example, you can use 
that. Just connect the output of the VCR to the camcorder input (my 
ZR 40 has both composite and S-Video inputs), connect the FireWire 
cable from the camcorder to the Mac, configure the appropriate 
settings in the camcorder, and you're all set.
