All you need is some way to convert the output of the VHS machine into firewire, which goes into the computer. You can use a dv camcorder that has analog inputs and will "pass thru" the signal. You could also buy a stand alone media converter. The most frequently recommended are by Canopus, Miglia, and ADS. They sell for about $300. regards, sb On 5/19/2004 3:53 PM, "Richard Meyeroff" <rem at meyeroff-c-c.com> wrote: > Gentlemen & gentlewomen > > I have large # of vhs tape recorded off the tv.
