Good and detailed advice can be had at:

In my particular case, I bought a VCR-DVD recorder combo set at Wal-Mart:
MAGNAVOX MWR20V6; this was partly because I do not have a VCR (my tapes all
date back from 10 years ago). I dub a VHS tape (or segment therof) to a
blank DVD; then I copy the DVD contents to my computer hard drive. Then I
convert the original .vob files from the dubbed DVD to compressed .avi using
VirtualDub for MPEG-2. Then I import/process/edit the video with Windows
Movie Maker and eventually make a new DVD with Windows DVD Maker. I found
there were numerous little things you have to take care of to get a good
final product; those web sites I mentioned helped a lot. Good luck and have
fun!
