Importing VHS to my computer...

[tzikeh]

We had a break-in a while ago, and my laptop and my camcorder were stolen. My camcorder had pass-through capability, where you could hook it up to a VCR on one end with RCA cables and to a computer on the other end with Firewire, and it would just let the playing VHS go right through the firewire into Final Cut as an imported video. As far as I know, they don't make camcorders that allow that anymore, and I still have a lot of VHS tapes I need to convert.

Any suggestions?

Oh my God, I am so, so stupid.

Of course I do, and I can hook it up to the vcr.

Thank you!

If you need one, I have one of those gizmos that get rid of copyprotect so that you can back vhs up to dvd without any trouble. I think they are illegal to buy these days.
