[PLUG] Video question


This is only tangentially related to Linux but I need some advice/help.

My daughter has to complete a 3 minute speech on my old VHS-C video tape
recorder tomorrow, have it converted to one of these formats:
[wmv|avi|mov|mpg|mpeg|mp4|3gp] and upload it to the contest site on Friday.  A
college scholarship or considerable portion thereof could be in the balance here.

Neither of my computers has the capability to take a video input (skip long
"Pinnacle sux" story here).  The Camera Shop will convert it for $29.99 (3
minutes or 2 hours - same price) but they have no freakin' idea what the file
format is.  They just say: "You put the DVD in your DVD player and it plays!"

Does anyone have suggestions about going from VHS-C to a file in short order?
Perhaps someone could help out - I'd be happy to pay the $29.99 and drive over
if that helps :-)

Thanks!

Eric
