Q. I have quite a number of home movies recorded on VHS and VHS-C camcorder tapes. I would like to transfer them to a USB drive so I can show them on a computer and transfer them to other family members’ computers. Years ago I purchased a device that used a converter box and software, a package that was supposed to work with a PC. It was difficult to use so I gave up on it. Can you recommend an easier way to transfer my home movies to a digital format?

A. This is another question that comes in fairly regularly. Transferring your camcorder videos to digital is very easy these days, with a simple, compact and affordable device.
