I have several VHS tapes that I want to get on my computer. Is there a company out there who will convert my VHS tapes to a computer file format, or something I can use to get into Windows Movie Maker to edit?
I would gladly pay for this service
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

Do a search in your local phone book, usually under video restoration or conversion. You should be able to find a few local shops that can perform the conversion for you.

Most camera stores do it.
Or just buy a dual deck dvd recorder & do it yourself. -
Cheaper to do it yourself unless you want to spend the $$$$$$

Get/borrow a camcorder with av-dv pass through and a firewire card if you don't have one. Save them as avi's.

As the previous posters suggested, there are several that do this. I too notice one in my area as well, they're everywhere. I'm sure you won't have difficulty finding one.
Alot depends on your volume. If you want to convert more than a few dozen tapes this will cost you quite a bit with an outsourced service. You would be better off buying a nice card for your PC or a DVR instead. (And you can use the latter for other stuff too.)
Keep in mind, ask what process they use. Some of the smaller places may use a very "home solution". Don't bother with them if you have plenty of tapes.
But I would recommend one of these services if it's done professionally for a few of your most precious tapes.I hate VHS. I always did. -
tmorg2009 - Don't dig up ancient posts to add to them (we call this "grave robbing"). The people who asked questions years ago are usually no longer around to read your reply. Hubie hasn't logged in since Jan. 2008.
