Really any capture card (or video card with capture capabilities) will be able to do it, especially since VHS won't result in the highest quality video anyway. This hardware will more than likely come with software which will let you select the format the finished file will be in.
I really believe this is all he wants, so does anybody have any recommendations for video capture cards?
