I'm not interested in converting them to DVD, but I at least wanted some sort of digital format on my computer.

I also got this device from Amazon:

Which is along the same line of the things you were looking at.

I haven't actually completed anything, but I did test it and it worked.

So yes, I think you're on the right track. Step one, digitize them onto your computer. Step two, burn that file to a DVD (for which you'll likely need some program to do the conversion).
