Unless you have a digital VCR, I don't think that a 1394 output will be included on any VCR player. The 1394 (i-link or firewire) connection is only useful if your VCR or receiver is getting a digital signal. For example, some sattelite receiver will have a 1394 connection which you could probably connnect to your computer.

Here is an example of a D-VHS that has a 1394 connection:
