What are my options for viewing them and possibly converting them into digital. A bit of looking online has shown me a few converters but all have horrible reviews what’s my best options both practical and cost wise?

Thanks!

Do you have a computer? Do you have something to play the tapes on (like a VHS player with an adapter, or a VHS C camera with a video output cable)?

This would be the starting point. After that you will need a USB video capture box with RCA inputs.

Then you’ll need some software. So we will need to know what OS your computer is using (Linux, Windows, MacOS?).

I don’t have a player at the moment I’m looking into getting one pretty soon

I have a pc running windows 10 and a laptop running Linux mint
