Also, I just thought of something, and this is not aimed at just you, LM...
If you need to transfer VHS to digital format, and don't have a video capture card, or a DVD to VHS recorder/burner, you can use a digital video camera to simply tape the picture as it is playing on a nice screen (try to record it on a flat screen, not an older "fish-bowl" type of display), and then you can transfer it to your PC and upload to google videos or wherever.
I have never tried this, so I don't know what kind of quality you are going to end up with, or how much video editing it will need after all is said and done, it may be quick and dirty, but it will also be effective.
You could even tape it with a mobile phone video camera--we are so obsessed with the F1 that I think as a stopgap method for sharing via the web, even that would be well-received!!!
