My dad recently handed me a box with 20+ old VHS and VHS-C tapes, around 15 8mm tapes and 33 Mini DV which he wants me to digitise and keep safe.
Where do I even begin? He has a Toshiba VHS player with dvd writer I think I need to check its not just dvd player.
I was thinking first play the vhs and record to dvd then rip it to PC and run it through handbrake? However the player also has hdmi out so I could get a USB hdmi capture card (something like what gamers use?)
But then what do I do with the 8mm and mini DV tapes? Is there a 8mm to vhs adapter?
The mini DV tapes I remember having to connect the old Sony camera to pc using firewire and capturing it in windows movie maker on XP but the camera is dead.
Any advice would be appreciated!
