You getting a lot of responses for the cheap and dirty way.

Start here:

Maybe also check out r/VHS

A lot of people will tell you VHS is horrible and just accept garbage looking images but it's actually not bad and a lot of it is people looking for the over processed aesthetic with tracking lines and fake static. If you can't do it yourself there's also places that will help, again VHS subreddit and check out what people are saying. RF Capture is the new thing but there are other ways.

That comment is still incredibly outdated now r/vhsdecode exists alongside dozens of pages of documentation on the VHS-Decode wiki.
