I keep holding onto my vhs collection because in my ADHD mind , I won't be able to find these random titles I have. I know they're out there and were relatively popular in the 90s, but its hard to find like a "group" of this type of movie. Any ideas ? I'm not good at just searching by title. I need somethibg like "generic weird 90s vhs movies "

Step 4 optional, I would suggest ripping to file any DVDs you buy so you have a permanent copy.

This should be step 1 IMHO. You can either get a vhs to dvd unit or they have some much cheaper vhs to digital that you then capture the stream from OBS.

The cost of getting an interface for recording the output of VHS, and the messing around you have to do to get it to work properly (macrovision and all that) far exceeds the cost of buying the DVDs from your local charity shop that you can't find a torrent of (shouldnt be many), and the quality will be massively better from the DVDs than the crappy quality you will get from the VHS tapes (particularly if they are worn).

You digitise VHS when you have no other choice - there is only one copy of it. For the stuff mentioned as examples - the vast majority of which should be easily torrented - there is no reason to go digitising the vhs.
