there is static as a quicktime in fcp
can't you just use that preset?
you can muck with it a bit by doing frame rate flicker stuff
and just look at all your effects options
to make it look not so uniform
i have also found the static sound on the net to make it
or
why don't you just try to pull from the vhs directly into fcp
(adobe premier ick)
a to d converter is on consumer dv cams
using rca cables
then chunk it back out to dv
