Ask HN: How to Convert over 100 VHS tapes to digital
any recommendations on easy/cheap what to do this?
- bluGill 8y agoEasy: pay someone. Your local photography store (any big city will have one, but good luck finding it) can do it. Cheap: your local big city library probably has the equipment, just bring your tapes in, sit in what looks like a private reading room for a few hours (bring books) and slowly convert them. Their equipment is probably good quality. Mid cheap: you can buy devices that attach to your existing VCR on one side, and have a computer (often USB) connection on the other. There is plenty of software to record. Quality varies depend on your VCR (clean the heads), and the quality of the interface.
- fosco 8y agoappreciate the info, thank you! will look inter library and paying someone... fear it may be cost prohibitive...
