Home audio & video: Converting to digital formats

Converting to digital formats

Hi,

My father is interested in converting his old home movies (VHS) and some old reel-to-reel audio recordings into digital formats. Are there any nice at-home, do-it-yourself type options out there on the market for doing that conversion for either/both of those old formats? He's a do-it-himself kind of guy and would prefer to do that instead of sending it off to someone else to do it.

I've found a couple options for the VHS to digital converters, but I'd be interested in hearing anyone's opinion if they've had experience with these. I've had more trouble finding something that can do the reel-to-reel to digital conversion, so if anyone knows of anything that can do this, I would greatly appreciate it. And if there's such a thing as an all-in-one converter that can do both, that would be great too!

Thank you for your time.
