saving your VHS
there is a pretty cool way to digitize your VHS use a digital 8 camcorder sony made a bunch of these with digital pass through via firewire you can just plug your vcr into the camcorder and it dumps out the other side to your pc with no degrading it will pass strait through or you can record it to a digital 8 tape as well i have a sony DCR TRV 340 and have used it to do this in the past most of the DCRTRV models have the pass through function
