Anybody know of anywhere in KM this can be done?

Videotape (no edit button for titles!)

I haven't seen a VCR in km for years. If you/or a friend work in one of the universities they might be able to access one.

You should be able to find a VCR in one of the second hand markets. Then you can get a RCA to USB converter off of taobao. Ask the seller what software is supported. The will probably give you a baidu cloud link.

Useful @foodie. Thanks.
I only hve 1-2 tapes to convert, so buying a player seems too much trouble! Maybe it would be worth waiting til I go back to UK for a few weeks next year? VCRs were more popular, more recently then. Thanks again.

There are companies who provide this as a service. Search online.
