How many tapes need converting?

I think 5 or so. They are the small vhs tapes.

If you can wait until they open again Niles library let's you do it for free.

No way! I miss the library being open. Im in no rush to do this just want to eventually get it done

Yep, it's awesome. it does convert in real time so if the vhs is 2 hrs long it will take 2 hrs but you can leave and come back. it only works in home videos too but it's great. They sell DVDs for $1 too if you don't have any

I did mine at CVS and was very happy. You can also do it at the Niles Library.
