"Set top recorder" is a stand-alone device for recording DVDs - one that
works autonomously, without there being a PC involved. Much like a
normal DVD player, but with a recording capability.
"VR mode" is supposedly some kind of intermediate or auxiliary data
format used by these stand-alone recorders to facilitate direct on-line
recording. The DVD video format was not originally designed with direct
on-line recording in mind.
(The problem lies in that with stand-alone DVD recorders, arbitrary
video clips will be recorded on the disc, possibly in a number of
separate recording sessions, without knowing in advance how long they
will be or how many of them the final disc will contain. The original
DVD video format was designed on the presupposition that the contents of
the disc be fully known in advance and set in stone before any of the
data structures on the disc will be produced.)

I have not had to deal with discs produced by stand-alone DVD recorders
myself, so I don't know the details. However, I would assume that merely
cloning the DVD on another DVD without changing any of the data in the
process in any way won't do. You will probably need to re-author the
disc (i.e. import the MPEG-2 video clips from the original disc and
create the standard DVD video data structures around them that normal
DVD video players would expect to see) using a DVD authoring
application. Whether Nero contains sufficient tools for this, I don't
know, but there are several DVD authoring applications on the market.
Google for "DVD-lab", "Ulead DVD Workshop", and "Adobe Encore DVD", for
example.
I would expect this is a common problem among the users of stand-alone
DVD recorders, so there are probably tutorials about this on the web.
