Getting it professionally done is still pretty cheap. Unless you have a lot of them, it probably isn’t worth doing yourself. Inexpensive tools for consumers tend to result in very poor quality exports and anything that actually looks good tends to cost $100 or more to set up. Most professional services for VHS to DVD or VHS to MP4 can give you high quality results for under $20/tape.
