Well, I still have my VCR (vhs) hooked up to my television set. Mainly because I have well over a hundred old films on tape that to this day are completely unavailable on dvd or streaming services, and haven’t even been aired on cable for three decades.

You might want to google for transcoding.

I bought a vintage Betacam SP machine on Ebay for nothing. It was a nostalgia thing. I worked with them for years.

Get an Elgato video capture device(about $85) and digitize all that. I did my old 8mm and VCR tapes. Then the VCR and the 8mm camcorder(that didn’t work) went into the trash.
