I have a Pinacle Firewire 400 converter box. I use iLife05 iMovie and iDVD for the conversion process on the G5. It goes really smooth with this setup. If I have a large amount of VHS tapes to convert I will capture them on the G5 in iMovie and then copy the files to my Intel Mac and render them in iDVD on the Intel Mac. Then on either Mac in DVDRemaster create .MP4 movie files from the DVD ISOs.
