I can identify with that VHS dilemma. I have the same one with my video projects from college, as well as some personal videos I grabbed from my mom's house before we sold the house.

For Christmas, my husband got me a program I can use to convert them from VHS to digital. So I just got myself a refurbished VCR from ForTheLow.net. It just arrived and looks fantastic, so I'm hoping to get working on that soon!
