1. I'm not sure about your Mac, but I use Elgato from Apple although I'm sure it's available elsewhere.

I got it a couple of years ago to convert VHS tapes my kid had plus others to QuickTime or mp4 format. I keep them on an external hard drive and on disks.

It is simple, works out of the box as it should. Just be sure to be careful in naming said video before you convert it to mp4. You can trim the beginning or end off, commercials, etc.

I've done hundreds of hours. I don't have much gig but you can burn the movies or whatever it was on DVD R-M 4.7gig disks, or even 700MB disks if the material is very short. Then delete it from your hard drive to allow space to make more.

Here's a link to it and I suspect it'll work for you:

Good luck and have a great time digitizing.
