I've got a lot of home videos on VHS-C tapes. Anyone have experience converting tapes into digital format to be stored on DVDs and/or a hard drive? What did you use?

I used something like this:

It's relatively cheap and all you need is a VHS player. You play the tape and it records it as it plays to a digital format. The issue I ran into was one old tape would generally have anywhere from 1-5 different videos/clips on it. So I was recording I would just stop the VHS player and the converting software at the same time, then start them again to get my separate clips
Then I bought some DVD/Movie maker software to make my DVDs how I wanted. You can probably find free software for this.
