I have one of those Maplin B grade vhs-dvd copy boxes. They are very
good for making copies of home tapes to DVD. However, they enforce the
copyright on some later movie tapes, and you cannot transfer them. The
device is also a very capable VHS player. So VHS still lives on here but
I will be really pissed come the day when it is not possible to buy a
VHS player, or the tapes break.
