Ion, the company behind those USB turntables much loved by those of us old enough to not only know what vinyl is but to have invested in an LP collection, is hoping to win over folk with home movies and films recorded on VHS.
Ion VCR2PC Ion's VCR 2 PC: transfer your old tapes
The VCR 2 PC may look like an early Amstrad video …
I guess it's a neat idea if the price is right. However I had no problem plugging my old VHS recorder into the back of my DVD recorder and copying all my old tapes over to DVD via scart.
A DVD recorder can be had for £60 odd these days and will be more useful in the long run.
... but my problem is that my S-VHS recorder failed and the inpependent repair shop would not repair it. Annoyingly, it was just after I'd put my S-VHS home movies in a pile ready to copy to DVD+RW, for editing on the computer!
