I'm not techy at all. but I have a VHS to DVD converter/player. then once on DVD, you can load onto your PC or flash drive. thats how i solved that issue.

You need a TV tuner card. The older ones are analog and cheaper than the newer digital ones. Ebay should have some for less than 30 bucks. Word of advice, never buy a tuner card without the software for it. Dont believe the "it's online." Yeah, it's online but you have to buy it.

Hook VCR to tuner card, run movie while recording it on the computer. But, it takes a lot of HD space, a lot. Then you run the software to convert it to an avi or other format and make the size manageable.

there are several was to do this. the easiest is to take them to a professional to do this for you, but I guess we are all too embarrassed to let a stranger have access to our porn collections and then have to face them. The way I have don it for my old home made porn is:
1) purchased a DVD/VHS player/recorder. These machines come with both a DVD player and a VHS tape player but also allows you to record from the VHS tape to a DVD. Unfortunately this puts the new digital movie into a format that will play on your computer but will not allow you to copy it using basic software.
2) once I have converted the VHS tape to a DVD I then play it through AVS software (google AVS Video Editor). You can download the software free of charge but any video you make will have a promotion for AVS over the image. I have paid to upgrade to AVS Video editor which allows you to copy the DVD to your computer in a number of formats, which can then be uploaded onto xhamster

I'm interested in this process as well.
