Hi Guys,

I've got many old VHS tapes knocking around that contain home video footage from 1990 onwards that I want to get on my iMac, play with in iMovie then burn to DVD.

I took a look around a while back for some VHS capture software, and I came across two (one was the Roxio VHS to DVD capture and not sure what the other was called) but I heard some bad feedback on them, saying the quality was a lot poorer than the VHS version when it was moved across.

Does anyone have any software like this they can vouch for? Or got any recommendations for such a thing? It is important the software captures the footage and stores it on my mac (mp4, mov etc) so I can edit it in iMovie, don't want it to burn straight to DVD.

I have a mid 2010 27" iMac i7, so the tool pretty much needs to be FireWire 800/USB 2.0.

Any help appreciated!

A cheaper way is to get a DVD recorder and copy from VHS to DVD then copy onto your iMac for editing.
