<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Agreed, but this assumes that Juan has
in his posession some sort of an analogue to DV converter. Juan didn't
explain what his external burner is but if it is a home DVD player/recorder
then he may have plugged the VHS into the DVD burner via RCA jacks and
recorded directly to DVD.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Juan, you'll need a DV bridge of some
sort. There are dedicated analogue to DV bridges available or you can use
a DV camcorder as a play-thru device.</font>
<br>

drive.</font>

to import the VHS tape to iMovie, edit and then burn the DVD. By

doing it the way you are you have added an extra video compression <br>
stage which will take away from the final quality of your video.<br>
