From VHS to H.264 video format
This is the setup I use to convert VHS tapes to H.264 video files.

My home server
Rather than throw out an old computer I’ve decided to put it to some good use. I’ve turned it into a server. I’m primarily using it to play around with ownCloud (http://owncloud.org).
The specs of the computer are as follows:
Compaq Presario SR1915AN
AMD Sempron Processor 3400+ 1.8GHZ
80GB 7200 RPM Hard Disk
1GB RAM
Other details regarding the server:
OS – Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Webserver – Apache 2.4.7
PHP version 5.5.9
MySQL 5.5.37
ownCloud 6
LibreOffice
Use a free (free as in freedom) office suite i.e. word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, database etc. Create documents using an open standard, the OpenDocument Format (ODF). Works on multiple operating systems, GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, MS Windows.
My entire family is using LibreOffice – no MS Office in this house.
