I've been interested in purchasing a DVD and VHS recorder. I was just wondering if it's possible to burn data to a DVD inside the DVD/VHS recorder from your Mac via USB or FireWire. If it's possible, could you direct me to where I find a model like this.

I was just curious about this, that's all. I'd like to have the ability to burn DVDs, back up data on DvDs and dub movies, etc on to DVDs from VHS all in one.
I've done this before.. what a pain. I routed the VHS to my TV... and then to my camcorder. Then import into iMovie and then burn with iDVD.
You could run the VHS straight to the camcorder.
If your camcorder supports pass through feature then no need to record on camcorder but just record on your Mac. The camcorder just reads the data and passes it through w/o recording it.
There are devices out there will take the connections from a number of different devices and interpret it for/into your Mac. My way was better (for me) since I didn't have to buy anything and wasn't going do it often enough to warrant buying more hardware.
