    Anyone know a place that can convert these to DVD?

    Not VHS, the little ones that went in the camcorder, that weighed as much as an anvil....

    Have a feeling this has been asked before, so apologies.

    Maybe Kendraytyke could be your saviour as he's sh*t hot with all the old taped matches.

    There’s a new page just behind the old colliers cafe in grimethorpe that does this.

    I did... but you need to have the camera to play the tapes into the device. I got the impression the OP might just have tapes.

    there used to be quite a few offering the service on eBay, I got ours done cheaper than buying any equipment that I would never need again.

    Puts the little tapes onto dvd or memory stick.

    I can't do them unless I have the camera. I think Asda do them.

    Wasn't there a standard vhs sized case with a piece cut out so you could insert your mini vhs tape into it and then play it through your vhs video player and then record to your dvd recorder ???
    Or am I making this up?

    That was the VHS-C system. The other system was video8mm and later Hi8.
