I don't get why everyone is so hyped about this. The MBP still doesn't have VHS support so they're literally gate keeping an entire medium behind a dongle. They have some serious nerve >:(
My setup is USB-C -> USB-A -> VGA -> VCR. It’s an obsolete medium, so that seems reasonable to me.
Then again, I distinctly remember my amusement when I got my first MP3 player - a Diamond Rio PMP300 - to work with the stereo in my room when I was in high school. It was a console record player with an 8-track deck, and I used an 8-track to cassette adapter, a cassette to 1/8” stereo adapter, and plugged that into the headphone port of the Rio.
I'm not astute enough to tell if this is /s, but the idea of a USB-C to VHS dongle is highly amusing to me.
