Following a death in the family, I want to try and digitize some of our old
family albums and video tapes, so they'll be available in the future. The
albums would be standard photographs, mostly 3x5s. The home videos would be
a mix of regular VHS and some sort of micro-VHS tape. I've never done this
before, so I have a few questions about it.
1)Can a normal home scanner work for the photographs (note: these are
photos, not negatives)? If not, what do I need?
2)I think I'd just need to play the VHS tapes into a TV capture card, am I
missing anything there?
3)We may not have the converter that takes the mini-VHS tapes and plays them
in a VCR anymore. Anywhere I can get that type of equipment?
4)What format would you suggest I use? I'd prefer a lossless format for
both, I can always make lossy copies later.
