[wellylug] OT: VHS to MPEG?

[Matthew]

I've got a computer documentary on loan that I want to make copies of ("Free 
and unaltered broadcasting, netcasting, and copying are encouraged").

Does anyone have a set up that can take NTSC (American) VHS and convert it to 
MPEG? Of course I'll pay anyone for the job. Quality of transfer isn't too 
important as the source is mostly shot on handycam and there wouldn't be much 
quality to lose. A VHS > TV CARD > MPEG scheme is what I had in mind.

I've contacted businesses that do this sort of thing and they are asking 
$400-$700 for a one-off conversion to any digital format using their 
industrial equipment. Yikes, etc.
