I also had a couple of boxes of VHS & VHS-C tapes I needed to convert – I just bought a Sony VCR/DVD recorder combo – I just press a few buttons and it copies the tape to a DVD, which I then import & use in my NLE – It’s not a perfect solution but it works well, easily and relatively quickly (real time).
In lieu of that, I have an old Sony HC40 which offers pass-thru connect via 1394 to any composite video source.
