Never tried it myself, but if you play the VCR into a "good" TV capture
card that lets you save the result as MPEG2, you can then write it
almost directly it to DVD. If you're thinking ahead, you should try
capturing it at the correct resolution, frames/second and bit rates
(audio and video) for DVD compliance (I don't know for sure what they
are but someone will certainly chime in).
