A lot of folks were interested in the results, so here are a few products that I found and my thoughts:
Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac (Link)
$79.99, easy to use. If I wanted a DVD as a final result, I think I would use this product.
Neuros OSD (Link)
$99. Pretty nifty — Rip ANYTHING to digital format (not DVD). Store with the device, and playback on any TV. Also copy the files off of it and view on computer or iPod, etc. Leaning towards this one for its pure geekiness factor (it’s open source!). No computer needed.
Service: Costco Video Transfer (Link)
$20 per VHS, you get it back after 3 weeks on a DVD. Saves your time. For $100 you can do 5 VHS tapes. Lousy if you only have 30 mins each on 20 VHS tapes like my family does. But a good service nonetheless.
Thanks for the roundup!
