How to transfer VHS tapes and what to? Jul 4, 2016 18:09:38 GMT

Well, I'm purging today and one thing leads to another...

So I have maybe 20 VHS tapes (home movies) and most say they are 120 minutes but I'm certain they are much shorter. I haven't had a VHS player in decades.

Can Sams, Walgreens, etc transfer them and then are they transferred to DVD? We don't have those either.

Can they do it to a flashdrive??

I'm super not techie but these things just take up so much space, what do people transfer them to these days?

Any ideas how much it costs?

Thanks!

They will also put them on a backup flash drive. They have a 25% off coupon right now, too.

That's what I did a few years back. Craigslist/Facebook pages often have super cheap players.

We didn't have VHS tapes but Super-8 movies and slides from DH's childhood, we had them put onto DVDs.
