VHS to iMovie: Is it this simple?
I've read a lot of forum questions about VHS to iMovie conversion, but haven't seen a clear answer to my question.
I want to transfer a VHS home movie to iMovie to edit. Since I don't have a camcorder, I want to contract a video service to make an analog to digital conversion. If he converts the VHS to a QT format (say mpeg-4) and makes a data file disk, can I just download the disk to my hard drive and import into iMovie? Is it that simple? A better way or format?
Also, is there a way to block the audio from the final product or is that "baked" in?
