Was cleaning out my storage shed and found a bunch of vhs movies (no home movies) in questionable state. Is there anything worth doing or should I dump them (think they can be recycled)? Before it's said, I don't think they're worth digitalizing imo.

if you have a Hi-Fi audio capable VHS recorder, you can back up your music in excellent quality on it.

if not, you still can use a PCM encoder for the recording like the ones Sony made back in the day (today I guess you can get away with some pc software and a cheap USB S-Video card/stick)
