Easy way to transfer tons of old photos to flash drive
DW's been organizing our old photos (500-1000 or therabouts). I was looking for semi-quick and easy way to copy photos onto flash drive. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

May I hijack a teeny bit: same question as the OP's but for VHS tapes to some type of electronic media?
On edit: found this http://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/how-to-convert-vhs-to-dvd/article. This seems to cover everything?
There are a couple of ways to go about this. A hardware/software route which is very time consuming. For one, it's not real time. You have to first digitize the analog VHS footage to your computer, then author the video files for DVD playback, and burn the disc. This could easily take 3x-5x+ the actual footage time. The only real advantage of doing so is that you can edit the video before setting up your DVD.
A quicker real time solution is to get a DVD Recorder/ VHS set top combo. You can find them starting at about $150+. I've seen tons of used ones on EBAY. Even at thrift stores such as Goodwill, where I picked up a Sony for $12. Though I'd recommend you clean the VHS heads, and blow out any accumulated dust if doing so.
