Default Converting 8mm and VHS to DVD/Digital format for Family Hockey Game DVD

My dad has been running a yearly family reunion/hockey game for 30 years. 3 generations have played in the game thus far, and we're looking to try and make a special video for this upcoming year.

My dad has just about every game recorded on same way, be it 8mm, VHS, or the more recent 'mini tapes'. The problem with compiling this all, is trying to get all of the videos into a workable format for my uncle to compile, edit, and eventually render. We've thought about taking the games into a 3rd party, but from what we've heard it's quite expensive, especially for 29 tapes, and about an hour-ish a tape.

I did a quick google search and pulled up a DVD recorder? I'm usually pretty tech savvy, but haven't heard much about how reliable/quality it produces. Is there an easier way to just transfer the media onto the computer?
