[MacDV] VCR to DVD Strategy

I would suggest trying to devise a way to skip a step and capture the  
VHS footage to MiniDV tapes as you captured the footage in iMovie.   
You would need a timer to alert you when you need to pause the  
playback and get a new Mini DV tape in the recording device.  And a  
rewinder for the MiniDV tapes would be real helpful as well.  I'm  
just not sure where in the chain you could insert the DV recorder -  
some DV cams have playthrough conversion capabilities, but the ADC is  
likely to do a better job converting the analog to DV.  If you can  
cut the time spent on the project in half, that might be worth the  
investment in MiniDV tapes and a DV camera.  Putting together yopur  
own FW drives is a good idea, too.  You can never have too much  
storage.  I think a company called Weibe Tech makes a connector that  
allows you to plug drives into the FW w/o using an enclosure.


Just my $0.02 -
