Importing VHS to my computer...


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?
