I got a lot of movies on VHS rated G to R movies in a box in my basement. Last VCR I had ate tapes and I had to quit using it as I didn't know how to fix that. I know there are DVD and VHS hybrids that were able to copy VHS tapes to DVD-R disks. But that can't be done with copy protection in the VHS tapes. My wife and I have our wedding in 1997 on two VHS tapes, I haven't had a capture card to convert it to MP4 files or whatever. We got a lot of tapes in 8MM format and the advanced format that replaced it using video cameras as well. I don't make much money because I am disabled and trying to get better so I can write code again. So paying a professional to transfer it would cost too much. In Thailand they quit using VHS tapes and went to the VideoCD format as CD players are cheaper to make than VHS VCRs, plus when they pirate a movie it is on VideoCD format using 3 or 4 CDs to play the whole movie. In the USA we went to Video DVD disks (Red Box or Family Video, etc), or BluRay disks.
