If you have a monstrous collection of VHS tapes that you would like to digitize before disposal, the Ion VCR 2 PC is one way of accomplishing the task. Basically, the VCR2PC is a video player with a USB out. You plug it into your computer and hit play and wait, wait and then wait some more for the video to finish playing. Isn’t it so much easier with digital media? While I phased out VHS from my collection long ago, there are plenty of people that can’t stand the thought of parting with all of their monstrous collections of tapes, something like this ought to help them make the job easier (though if you have 20,000 of them you might want to call some minions into action).

You can also look into the Neuros OSD for a simpler, cheaper way to record your VHS tapes.

The Neuros OSD is a different concept, replacing the PC part of the equation.
I am discouraged about the many reports of problems with the ION VCR2PC, though. I have the VHS tape and I have the PC and need something to connect them.

The VCR2PC does not work on my xp or vista machines. Will not work on the vista (HP portable) because the driver is invalid. Will not work on the xp Dell machine because the audio is crackly and the video has lines through it. Stay away from this product.
