I use a Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge (it accepts analog signals and outputs digital via a FireWire cable). Last night I finished mastering my 24th VHS and 8mm conversion; each DVD is about an hour long.

The DV bridge works great and can also reverse the process, i.e., it can send analog signals back to the VCR from a digital source. And I haven't made any coasters.

The cost was about $200; installation was an easy matter of just connecting the power and patch cables.

I have a virtually identical setup, and I've transferred dozens of old VHS movies into DVDs. Easy as pie. No problems, no hassles. Thanks, Apple!

That's what I use. Dazzle Hollywood DV bridge, Power Mac G4 (actually, I use my iMac for VHS video, and save the Power Mac for digital video), iMovie and iDVD. Works a treat. Piece of cake. I've got a whole collection of old movies converted over from VHS to DVD now.
