USB 2.0 Video & Audio Grabber Capture is the do it yourself option , plug one lead into your VHS player and the other into your computer and it will convert all your VHS tapes to MPEG video files . The coverter costs less than $20 delivered , the Video files can be backed up to disc and played on most DVD players
google "USB 2.0 Video & Audio Grabber Capture" I bought one on DX but theres heaps of other places to get them including local computer fairs
