What’s the best way to convert VHS tapes to digital format so I can put them on a hard drive. I have a video recorder but I haven’t purchased a lead that plugs into my laptop yet or any software.

I have a hauppage wintv card kicking about somewhere. You may still be able to find drivers for it. You can have if you pay postage. Then use a vhs video recorder and record it that way.
Or buy something like this but you'll still have to have a video recorder
I use the one from Maplins, its trial and error on quality but make sure your video player has good heads, also quality of cassettes can affect encoding...Thanks for your offer of the card but I only have a laptop.
Going to buy usb video capture card as you suggested. So I can transfer the footage onto my laptop edit it and then transfer it onto a hard drive. Thanks for all your suggestions lads.
