We present an illustrated workflow for digitizing Video Home Systems (VHS) videos, enhancing the visual quality of the digitized videos, placing a screen-visible time stamp, and tracking the movements of imaged entities with computer vision technology.We illustrate this protocol using videos of adult Drosophila melanogaster reproductive behavior originally stored as VHS videos.A vast amount of biological information is now potentially easily analyzable by unleashing the awesome power of digital technology.
