Ask HN: How to Convert over 100 VHS tapes to digital
any recommendations on easy/cheap what to do this?
Cheap: your local big city library probably has the equipment, just bring your tapes in, sit in what looks like a private reading room for a few hours (bring books) and slowly convert them. Their equipment is probably good quality.
Mid cheap: you can buy devices that attach to your existing VCR on one side, and have a computer (often USB) connection on the other. There is plenty of software to record. Quality varies depend on your VCR (clean the heads), and the quality of the interface.
will look inter library and paying someone... fear it may be cost prohibitive...
