Why not just preserve and watch the actual VHS tape when you want to?
I know slides and film will degrade over time (what kind of storage do you have) not sure about VHS tape and playing it will further wear it down? Your comment about who will watch it….if on a cloud service you can send a link to anyone and they can then watch (share) remotely. We did this when we converted our slides and pictures and it was popular with the extended family. It should be the last time you have to convert anything, LOL
