1. If it's old enough, you may be able to do it with a cheap dvd recorder...

I put a bunch of home movies on DVD this way (just connect the cables between the VCR & DVD recorder), but when I tried to put a commercial VHS on DVD it wouldn't work because of copyright protection on the VHS. I don't know when they started doing that.

3. I used a Hauppauge TV recorder card on my PC

then ran an antenna cable from the VCR output to the Antenna input on the card.

After capturing on my computer's hard drive, I recorded that to a dvd.

It worked pretty well.

edit: this was supposed to be a response to the OP. oh, well.
