more than one way to do that, check this recent thread.
VHS to still

If it does not cost anything you are the product.

If you have a video camera like any sony PC you conect the camera to the VHS, you don't even need TV. set your cam to VHS you should be able to see you tape on the camera and just take a picture save it depending on the camera some have memory built in some don't, mine has memory stick, save it on there. Voila.

Dave, not ALL PC style PAL cameras have analogue input enabled 'out of the box'(PC1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10 for example), especially here in Europe.
There are a couple of options listed in increasing order of hassle:-
Find a friendly cameraflyer and chat with them. Approach with beer, and a fair idea of the resolution you require, eg are you intending posting on the web, watching on DVD/SVCD, whatever.
Buy 'Camcorder User' and check out the classified ads at the back of this mag. Plenty of professional outfits around that can do this for you.
Buy a camera with analogue inputs, (or an Analogue/DV bridge) and a firewire card and do it yourself.
Buy a capture card with analogue inputs, fit to your computer, then connect your VHS machine.
For the do it yourself options you will need something like Premiere, Media Studio, Cleaner etc.
