I just ordered VHS to DVD for Mac and its says you can edit in Movie 08 but can it also be done in Final Cut Express or is MOvie 08 /09 the only  program it can be used with.

It records in MPEG 2 format which needs to be converted before it can be used by either iMovie or FCE. The application includes a built-in converter that converts the MPEG 2 video to H.264 MPEG 4 and automatically imports it to iMovie 09. You would need to do that first and then transfer from iMovie to FCE. There would be no conversion going from iMovie to FCE.

If you have a full version of Toast you can use its convert options to convert the MPEG 2 video to a format for importing to FCE without bothering with iMovie.

If you have the full version of Toast (not the Toast Basic that came with the capture device) then choose the Convert window, choose Video Files, add the MPEG 2 video and click the red button. In the window that appears I recommend choosing Digital Video (DV) as the format.
