how to use my editor to record my old vhs tapes to a chip ,format to save it-i can play vhs tapes.
Seems you would need a video converter to go between the VCR player (editor?) - and the Mac in order to covert the analog video signal to digital input via a USB port.
(By-the-way: If for a few VHS tapes only, there are service-providers who will convert VHS to digital for a fee.)

Re: whats best to save a vhs on a chip using my 1 yr old i mac 24 inh computer?
i can play the video and out put to a dvd disc
Seems dvds are on the way out too, (unless for short-term use) as they don't last long enough to preserve memories through the generations. Saving the digital files to the Mac as well as backing the files up (eg: on a portable hard-drive) may be best of all.
All the best :-)
