I just bought a set up at my local best buy to convert VHS to a digital file that I can store on my laptop.

From there I just need to upload it to youtube. The set up was $69. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll walk you through the steps.

I just converted a Joe Barboza interview from 1970 as well as a special on the Patriarca family from the 70's and 80's. Great stuff on those tapes. I'll post a link as soon as I host it on youtube. I converted it last night to my laptop so the last step is just uploading.
