I have about 40 old VHS video tapes. They are already in the way, but I can't throw them away because they record my children's childhood. Do you know of anywhere that will convert them to a digital medium at a reasonable price?
I don't want to do it myself 💦 I don't have time and it's a hassle 。。。。
But I don't want to take it to a very expensive place either. 、、、、 If anyone knows of a cheap place ? to do it, please let me know.
I'm looking for a place that will make a USB file for me.

Five or six years ago, I dropped a VHS onto a DVD or hard disk with a conversion cable ($ less than 50 ? ).
The downside is that you can't convert at high speed. A VHS with 10 hours of playback will take 10 hours to convert.

After conversion, I was assured that I could watch it anytime and never watched it. That's how it is.
Even if you spend a precious thing and a lot of money to convert it, children don't watch it as much.

Some people say, "The most important thing is the family album," but I don't think so.

Five or six years ago, I migrated a VHS to DVD or maybe hard disk with a conversion cable ($ it was around 30 ? ) I think.

I have not watched it even once, feeling assured that I can watch it anytime after conversion. That's how it is.

I don't watch that much even though I save past images as valuable. On a personal level, in moderation.

A kind person referred me to a company called Southtree via DM.

I searched online and found that a single VHS was usually $14 . 99, as high as $19 . 99, or even higher, $24 . 99. There was also a Black Friday deal of $8.00 per VHS, but the deal was only available if you also purchased other items, and after checking the necessary information, the final price was the same as $14 . 99 per VHS.

But ! Southtree was cheaper, $6.75 a bottle, and what they did was the same as the other companies.
So I thought they would only do VHS, but in the end they decided to do Hi8 and also MiniDV, 120 in all.
Now we don't have to take up storage space anymore.

# 7 As Kuwana said, I may not watch them after conversion.
But that's ok. I will look forward to it when I get older. I may not watch it
now because my days are still busy, but I want to look forward to
it when I retire and have a lot of time left.

I checked Amazon for VHS to DVD or Digital Converter and found $ 20~ $ about 40.

If you have a VHS or other player, just connect it to your computer with a converter.
The vendor will probably charge more because of the time it takes to convert. It's a labor charge.

If you convert 120 videos, it takes 240 hours at 2 hours per video, so it is impossible for busy people.
If I am a pensioner, it will take me a year to convert using a converter. Enjoy the reproduced images.

Converting 120 videos is a lot of money, so it's none of my business, but
I just had to interject. I apologize.
