I recently had to do this, and if you have a workin VCR, I can’t say enough about this easy hook up that connects directly to a computer. It’s easy as can be.

Either use a digitalization service (expensive) or you can do it yourself on your computer. Just buy a cheap composite capture card like this one, then record the vcr video output as you play the tapes. Those capture cards often come with proprietary software to record the tapes.
If you want to get the most out of the video quality, you can use a proper recording software, like OBS streamlabs. It has an automatic setup that detects your PC components and adjusts the settings accordingly, though it's optimized for streaming, not recording. After that, you'd just have to find the USB capture card as a video source and hit "record".

I streamed a tournament with this thing and it worked great. The video and audio quality was great. Probably not 60 FPS but hey, it's cheap.
I'm playing the tapes on the VCR my parents bought that's at least as old as I am. Hooked up to it is this $15 capture card thing that's USB on the other end. You'll need composite cables to go between the VCR and the capture card, it doesn't plug directly into it.
To record the video I'm using OBS Studio, it's free and runs on just about anything. The capture card comes with software on a disc but it's kinda old so I'm not using it.
You'll need a video capture card of some sort. Example: https://www.amazon.com/REDGO-Video-Capture-Converter-Adapter/dp/B01E5ITE2W
I used one of these and then just put the cam up on the screen using mplayer:

How did you solve the issue of Android auto forcing itself to the front of the screen when in use? Does cam_overlay solve that?
I got this cable from Amazon (there are many more expensive options, but I'm poor and cheap and this has worked fine for me). My husband hooked it all up for me but I don't think it's hard if you're not super tech-y. It comes with software to transfer the VHS to your hard drive, and transfers at a 1:1 rate, which basically means you play the tape in real time. Then I think the files save as WMV, so we got a free program (Handbrake) to convert them to mp4 and we uploaded them to a private YouTube channel we set up for my mom. Once we get them all done we'll transfer them to a USB for her, or you could burn them to DVD. It takes a while, but I think it's probably her favorite gift ever.
I did a ton for Christmas but couldn't find the VHS-C, she found them and those are next on the list as soon as I get the adapter.
This is a good starter. I sue it. The capture is decent, but these is some that is left to be desired with the setup.
The Serial-Digital Interface is a professional connector (it has the ability to lock the cable onto it's connector.)
To get from your camera to the mini monitor is a headache.
You'll be upscaling SD to HD and that's going to cause interlacing problems. I wouldn't use it. I know you're looking at it as something 'cheaper'. By the time you're done getting the right cables, the intensity is a better deal.
I took a quick look at consumer devices like this
The problem with all of them, will be that they won't bring it in uncompressed.
It'll be one of three formats:

So what i meant to use is something like this to plug my hdmi feed into from my camera https://www.amazon.com/GANA-Composite-Converter-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B01L8P11LC/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1540316453&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=hdmi+to+av+converter&psc=1 and from there connect it to something like this via analog cables https://www.amazon.com/REDGO-Video-Capture-Converter-Adapter/dp/B01E5ITE2W/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1540316592&sr=8-4&keywords=av+capture+card&dpID=41N26NrO3RL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

and all this to save money
and my questions were what are the bottlenecks? can i maintain a 1080p quality and if it actually works in obs?
I did this a few years ago luckily. I'm glad I motivated myself to do that because it's one of those things you put off and off until it's too late. Highly encourage folks to at least backup their growing up videos, there will be a time in the future where you'll be proud of yourself for doing that. It's also great having instant access to your personal VHS library. You can buy USB sticks you plug your VHS into and it'll play tape on your PC very cheap. I used something similar to this https://www.amazon.com/REDGO-Video-Capture-Converter-Adapter/dp/B01E5ITE2W/ref=sr_1_4?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1523734247&sr=8-4&keywords=vhs+capture&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011 .
