Reddit mentions of August VGB100 - External USB Video Capture Card - S Video / Composite to USB Transfer Cable - Grabber Lead for Windows 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista / XP

Assuming you've still got a working VHS player, get something like this and a copy of Handbrake or similar and rip them to your computer.

If you don't have a working one, you're better off getting any old player from somewhere rather than a special VHS-to-DVD type one, as what's the point of the extra expense after you've finished recoding the cassettes...?

And, in either case, after you're done - just chuck them out, nobody wants them any more, even for free :(

Capturei através de um VHS/DVD combo (LG RC388), gravei de VHS para DVD e depois passei o resultado de DVD para PC. Fiquei surpreendido com a qualidade do leitor, que já estava parado há uns bons 7 anos!

Acho que ainda assim há formas mais fáceis de o fazer, tipo estas pens August VGB100 que passam diretamente de VHS para PC, mas nunca experimentei. Ainda assim estou a pensar seriamente em investir numa.

If you buy something like this it can go straight into computer: https://www.amazon.co.uk/External-USB-Video-Capture-Card/dp/B008F0SARC?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1

I bought one of these for converting a ton of old home movies I had on VHS. It worked great.

something like this should work. fairly cheap too: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B008F0SARC/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1487593041&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=usb+video+capture&dpPl=1&dpID=41l0AHsR60L&ref=plSrch#

I would be worried, and to be honest; switch to one of these with a VHS-C camera to output the video.

Assuming you still have a VCR to play the tapes back, something like:

(I'm not recommending that one, it was just the first result from Amazon.)

Don't worry about tbc, just get one of these https://www.amazon.com/External-USB-Video-Capture-Card/dp/B008F0SARC/?tag=pcad0f-20&ascsubtag=06-3417308-11-0000000

It is an rca to usb video capture device, just play the tape and use the usb capture feature in premiere or whatever video editing software you happen to use. It will treat the vhs input like you have a DV camera plugged in except it wont let you control playback frm within premiere like with a DV camera. At $20 you can't go wrong.

Kui tahad ise teha, pead ostma endale sihukese jubla: https://www.amazon.co.uk/External-USB-Video-Capture-Card/dp/B008F0SARC . Alla 40€ kanti jäävad need, kui sul on tundide kaupa materjali siis targem oleks see osta. Näiteks allpool mainitud küsib 3€ tunni kohta, kui sul on 10 tundi videot siis see on juba 10€ kallim kui see vidin.

Hey guys! Any help would be much appreciated.

can i buy this one? will this transfer videos from my video tape to my computer safely?

I'd say this is a pretty ambitious first project, but what better way to learn than to fail until you succeed. I did this project for a friend on a 75" tv. Honestly to do this for your computer you wouldn't use a raspberry, you would use your computer as the "brain" instead of a pi. Here's the links i used to do the tv project, there's youtube guides for pc using an arduino, you can reverse engineer these links to get you somewhere.
