How to Convert VHS Tapes to Digital!

My entire life on VHS and 8mm tapes has been rotting away in a closet for years. I found a very simple and effective way to convert these tapes to digital and save my analog life!

•Elgato VHS Converter:
geni.us/7dQE (Amazon)

•Samsung T5 SSD:
geni.us/iXjtB (Amazon)

•Download the Video Capture software directly from elgato:
elgato.com/en/downloads

This is not a sponsored video, I just found that by doing the conversions myself, it was MUCH cheaper than using some of the other services that are available. It’s been so fun to see these old videos again, that I wanted to share the process with you in case you also have old memories in storage!
