Answer 2

I think you'd need to convert them onto dvd first using one of those dvd and vhs combi players then onto computer/memory stick like you would an average movie.

Answer 3

You don't need a memory stick or whatever else Leo was trying to say.

Converting VHS to a digital format is easy with a device like Dazzle from Pinnacle. It connects between your laptop and a VCR, and includes everything you need to hook it up. You can buy them at most electronics stores (Best Buy, Amazon.com, etc) for less than $100.
