My dad looked into this and he ended up just filming the each video with a digital camera on a tripod. Results were ok.

I've done it in years gone by with some kind of PCI (I can imagine you get USB ones now) card that had inputs for composite video (three phono cables red, white and yellow). Used a scart to composite cable from the video player and some kind of recording software on the PC. Think it came with the card but also seem to remember using VLC.

Have been doing similar this week, using a cheap usb capture device.
Use virtual dub to capture the video to avi and then ending up with an mp4.
VHS video is pretty low resolution to nothing too fancy is needed to capture the signal.
I used one of the below in conjunction with a scart converter.

Has anyone converted a VHS to digital format?
Wanted to do this as a present, but initial costs of paying someone are more than I thought.*
Wondering if I can buy a 2nd hand DVD / VHS combo recorder and rip that way?
Cheers.
*the main problem is a large number of short films when there is a price per VHS.
