I used an analog-to-digital converter made by Canopus...

I don't think the Canopus is being made any more, but I suspect the Roxio is similar. My VHS recorder's video and audio outputs were plugged into the Canopus, which was then connected to my Mac via FireWire. (I believe the Roxio uses USB.) I used iMovie to capture the VHS video and then, after minor editing in iMovie, I used iDVD to burn the DVD. Pretty straightforward, but time-consuming. (I think the Roxio comes with its own video-capturing and DVD-burning software.)

EDIT: Just checked Amazon, and it appears that Canopus is still in the video converter business, but it doesn't appear that my model is still available.
