Vidoe Conversion

I have a video that has a bunch of vaulting from the 80's and 90's and it has a bunch of fantastic vaults, including a bunch of Bubka's world records.
Only thing is, I have watched it so many times over the years, I cansee the quality diminishing.
Does anyone have any recommendations for VHS to .mov converters, or something similar? Essentially, I'd like to eventually get the video completely converted, and preferrably to a format where slow motion or frame-by-frame is possible.
Thanks.

Always remember that Best Buy has an unconditional return policy on most items (including video converters). Go buy their best capture card (like $150), hook your VHS/DVD player into it and convert all your videos. Then, you return the capture card for a complete refund.
I did that this weekend with an amplified TV antenna so i could watch the Bears game.....too bad they lost

I use the freeware MPEG Streamclip to convert to Quicktime. It requires you to have the paid version of QT or QT Alternative installed. I removed QT and installed the free QTA instead (too cheap to pay for QT) and it works exactly like QT so no problems viewing embedded videos. Anyway, I convert to MOV all the time. You can also use it to clip out segments from larger videos easily.

MPEGStreamclip is Mac only, isn't it?

Nope. I use it on XP.
