Digitizing VHS Tapes

Nothing fancy here. I just hooked up the camcorder to the line-out RCA jacks on my VCR and recorded the home movies I had on VHS tapes. Although the tapes are still perfectly fine for playing, I wanted to

digitize them for long-term storage. VHS will break down eventually and although archiving tape to tape will avoid that problem, there is some signal loss each time the tape is copied. The wonderful world of

bits and bytes allows copies to be made with no signal degradation.
