My partner's dad has loads of old cycle races on VHS, however his VHS player has died, and he's worried the tapes will start degrading (last time he tried one the sellotape holding the magnetic tape to the plastic spool had lost it's stick and fucked up the tape trying to play it).
So I would like to set him up with some sort of converting kit to rip straight to his imac, so then he'll be able to watch them on his ipad/apple tv etc. Now it looks the best way to do this is to buy a new VHS player, and a composite to usb cable and plug the VHS player straight into the imac, and using a video capture software rip it in real time.
Does this sound right, or does anyone have a better idea? Any recommendations on the video capture software?
