hey all! hoping someone can help me out here... I have a bunch of home movies on old VHS tapes from the 80's that I'd like to transfer to my iMac for various formats... apple tv, digital backups, etc...
i did this several years ago (like 10 years ago) before I was a mac user. I had purchased this little electronic device (dazzle? i think it was called) that connected my VCR to my PC and captured the video for me, transferred it, etc...
but to be honest the video captures kind of sucked. quality was pretty bad and i lost those recordings when my old PC died.
whats my best solution now that i'm an iMac user? I'm assuming i still need some sort of device to help capture the video from the VCR to my iMac? whats going to give me the best quality, etc...? I want to backup these videos before the VHS tapes fade forever. some of them are already in really bad shape...
also... is there any way to restore the videos? or am i going too far at this point? haha
