Since this is getting to look like a costly venture, I'll just keep them

If I were you I'd hit a few more garage sales and find someone dumping
their Mini-DV camcorder because they moved to an SD card based device.
Don't waste money on the VHS-C tapes.

At least with the Mini-DV camcorders it's pretty simple to upload to
your computer and burn a DVD, since it's all digital.

That's not a bad idea.
