I know that for the most part, we (as a community) are all about PQ and SQ, and VHS just don't cut it in those areas, so DVD is all we ever talk about, BUT...
There are some instances where the need arises to transfer VHS to DVD (or hard drive). One such example is an episode of Murphy Brown that my wife was on. I taped it, and I want to archive it before the tape fades. Another good example is Universal's "Classic Monster Collection" - eight old-time horror classics (Frankenstein, The Wolfman, Dracula, etc.)... on DVD (which is out of print) it's very expensive - $150 to $200. But on VHS it can be found for $40 or so. Obviously the PQ/SQ is pretty crappy to begin with, so why bother with DVD? Geez, the money saved pays for a nice DVD+/-RW drive!
So - anybody have any suggestions on how to go about transferring VHS content to hard drive (and then to DVD)?
TIA!
