I use a company called Imemories (in Arizona). I had 13 vhs tapes transferred onto a thumb drive. It was about 10 years ago and I was charged $14.99 per tape to transfer. The scariest part was sending off our precious home videos hoping they arrived safe. It was such a seamless transfer. The packaging they send you is very safe for your memories. Then you send it back to them. It was the best $200 I spent. I had everything put on a thumb drive which my son recommended because it’s hard to even buy a computer these days with a disc player anymore. Out of your choices, in my opinion, I think a thumb drive is the safest route to go. I still have my vhs tapes but definitely transfer them somewhere safer. VHS tapes don’t last forever, the film will eventually snap. It was easy to just pass out the thumb drives to our family members.
