VHS to digital is in no way rare or specialized equipment. You can but a complete kit for that sort of thing for under $50 on Amazon. But no one cares, because the audio and resolution on those VHS tapes is crap by today's standards.
DVD resolution and audio will be crap by the standards of 2035.
Unless it's your wedding video or something you absolutely can't get currently, it's not gonna be worth it. Same as today.
EDIT: I take that back, you can get a converter for $20. For $50 you could get a VHS player and a stack of DVDs to go with it.

EDIT 2: I found an even cheaper model for $13.

I was going more for the HDMI capture card route. Right now I have a low price low resolution composite capturing device coupled with a splitter (that strips that pesky copyright checker). It's complete crap but it's what I have and the low res isn't going to justify me using it for live broadcast or extracting the episode from the DVR, DVR files are encrypted and since they took out the hard drives and went solid state, it's harder to extract them so just do it directly.
