Option # 2 - Do not use Linux because there is no simple way to do this (yes, I have searched and posted for help in this forum without any success). If you have money to burn, bring all your VHS tapes to Wal-Mart or Walgreens for the conversion.Ģ. If anyone can walk me through this, I will be infinitely grateful. I'm assuming someone else has run into this problem. I don't know how to hook the VCR to the computer. Now, I have no clue how to do this nor what hardware I would need if any to do this. As far as I can tell the only way I can convert them is by going from analog VHS to digital DVD. I do own a DVR but most of them won't copy for copy protect reasons. I have done some research and every bit of information assumes that I would have an idea of what I'm doing. Cinderella has already bit the dust and I'm paying dearly for it. I'm looking to convert them to DVD for both backup and space savings. My granddaughter has found them and finds them fantastically entertaining but VHS isn't exactly hardy for a 4 year old to handle. I am sitting on over a hundred Disney and other kid's VHS tapes we still have around from when our kids were little.
