If your files are currently on a Windows PC, follow the PC migration steps instead.
If your new Mac is using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8 or earlier, follow the Mountain Lion migration steps instead.
Check software, settings, and power
Install all available Apple software updates on both Mac computers. Install any updates for your third-party apps as well.
Make sure that your old Mac is using OS X Lion or later.

Connect both computers to AC power.
However, unless you use a very old tv or monitor, the resolution of VHS, even with a professional 1:1 transfer, is just not up to the standards of what we're visually used to at this point. There is software, specifically from Red Giant, which claims to be able to up-res SD footage, but I can't vouch for it.
VHS-C is the compact VHS videocassette format, introduced in the early 1980s and used primarily in compact analog recording camcorders. S-VHS-C is the higher-quality version, based on S-VHS. These formats could be played back in a standard VHS VCR with an adapter.
Video and editing technology continues to advance. You can now record video on your camera, transfer it onto a computer, and use editing software to make your own videos without needing to get the video processed by an outside source. As cameras continue to improve in quality, so will the quality of the videos you can produce.
This is not an easy answer when being accurate. And the question leave a LOT of room. Do you want a watchable video or a binary digital backup of the analog signals e.g.
Connect the computers to each other
If both computers are using macOS Sierra or later, just make sure that they're near each other and have Wi-Fi turned on. If either is using OS X El Capitan or earlier, connect them to the same network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Or connect them using target disk mode and the appropriate cable or adapter. Then start up your old computer in target disk mode.
Or connect your new Mac to a Time Machine backup of your old Mac.

In this quick video, I show a cool Inateck USB 3.0 Hub (HB4009)with a “magic port” that enables file transfer between PC, Mac, and Android. I show how the keyboard and mouse works across these platforms as well. For more information about the hub, check out my Amazon link below!

In the example above, John Appleseed is a macOS user account. If you transfer an account that has the same name as an account on your new Mac, you're asked to rename the old account or replace the one on your new Mac. If you rename, the old account appears as a separate user on your new Mac, with a separate home folder and login. If you replace, the old account overwrites the account on your new Mac, including everything in its home folder.
After Migration Assistant is done, log in to the migrated account on your new Mac to see its files. If you're not keeping your old Mac, learn what to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your old Mac.
