IMO this is still the best place to ask. Hope you don't mind Doc!
To make space in my tiny digs I got an Apple Cinema screen to replace both monitor and TV (a great little 11" (!) Hitachi (colour too!!!) I picked up for $10 from a Japanese student on his way home about 12 years ago)
I have a few VHS tapes I'd still like to watch and am wondering if anybody has recommendations for the best way to do that. Easier to convert them all or can I get a cheap "play through " sort of device? The guys at the local Apple store didn't seem to know anything about dinosaur technology.
My VCR has -
In from Antenna (coax)
VHF/UHF out to TV (coax
Video - In and Out (both coax)
Audio - In and Out (both coax)
Thanks very much for any help you can give.

There are lots of small companies around that convert video to DVD for a small, usually reasonable fee.
Of course, if they're...ahem...'personal' videos...that might not be the best solution...

  if this is what he wants to do, my son had a card from Pinnacle called Studio something that cost <$100, and he could input analog video/sound from a VCR or camera and convert it to digital, and then do anything with it in terms of edit, etc., including put it back on analog tape. He used it for sk8board videos.
