The Roxio software has a converter that converts the MPEG 2 video to MPEG 4 which iMovie can import. In fact, it encodes in MPEG 2 format which iMovie cannot import in any case. It does not work for direct import to iMovie. The Easy VHS to DVD for Mac only works with its own software. I tried returning the product and they will not exchange it. Just to be clear, what I am trying to do is just use the USB capture device on the MAC with iMovie. So many choices and no one thing is best for all.Thank you so far for your replies. Smart TVs can sometimes play a video from you Mac's hard drive over your home network. It matters most how you plan to play the final video. That's because the Roxio device records in the popular h.264 format when you choose Medium quality setting (if you have the Roxio Video Capture app and not the Easy VHS to DVD Capture app). The Roxio device is a best choice if you want videos for computer playback or upload to YouTube or other sharing sites. Otherwise my first choice for ultimately making a DVD is a used DV camcorder with analog-to-digital pass through. This only makes sense if you expect to do a lot of this. Then I use the Toast Media Browser to extract the videos from the discs, then trim them in the Toast editor prepare a menu and burn the final DVD. This is a bit technical but with those devices (neither of which are connected to a computer) I record the video in "VR mode" to rewritable discs. Both the Pioneer and The Sony record in MPEG 2 format which eliminates the need for Toast's encoding when making the final DVD. With my Sony Blu-Ray recorder I need to burn a disc and then copy the video to Toast for editing. I have a standalone Pioneer DVD recorder that has a built-in hard drive so I can edit with it (without a computer) before burning to DVD. If you use a device that captures to the Mac then you can do editing after the capture.
