I tried several of the cheaper converters and none really worked properly.

I found this the best and easiest converter for VHS to digital. I used this over a couple of weeks to convert my old VHS tapes and found it high quality and really easy to use. Just plug the Scart into your VHS and connect to your computer. A bargain - on Amazon, it costs £90.
