Anyone able to convert an old VHS (about 7 minutes long) to a more modern format (eg .avi etc)?

Preferably this weekend (& thus in the (04) area).....

VHS -> CD or HDD video recorder -> burn to CD -> rip.

My folks got some old wedding footage converted from a reel to dvd at a camera store, cost them next to nothing.
Pop down your local mall, they can probably do it while you wait and put it on your pendrive for you.

don't have a TV capture card, but do have an old handicam, that might have a video in socket. Good thinking, grasshopper

From memory, Sony ones in VCR playback mode have bi-directional AV sockets - I managed to record from a sky decoder so I could watch a superbike race on a train once.

vhs player -> output to betamax -> microphone and record to vinyl -> magnets -> give to grandimama -> diabetes and bingo nights -> .avi output!

just because redtube lets anyone upload videos, doesn't mean you should.
