I converted my video tapes (the ones I taped myself, not movies I purchased on tapes: the last just went to garbage, the law here does not allow you to transfer purchased copyrighted videos to different carrier) into DVDs (with poorer quality that VCR has). What I needed was video card with video capture capability, and piece of software. Confession: I did it in Windows (2000 probably), the card was ATI Radeon (something), that had video (and audio) inputs and came with capture software. You can find stand alone video capture box that you can feed from VCR as well. once you have mpeg video files, it is trivial to conver them to DVD structure. For that I used ffmpeg and dvdauthor (both run on Linux on FreeBSD). I hope this helps.
