Analog camcorder movies to digital files?

[Wildperson]

I'm trying to transfer a large amount of old home movies from their tapes to a video file. Does anyone have a software recommendation for this? Is there any hardware I'll need?
Thanks in advance!

When you say tapes, do you mean VHS tapes or camcorder tapes? If VHS try this link:

If it is video camera tapes please let me know and I may be able to help.
