Hi Stas,

Here's how I do it.  Of course this assumes you have a Digital Video Camera.
If yes then it may support analog pass through.  I run my VCR into my
Digital Video Camera and from the DVC via Firewire to my PC and into a Video
Capturing software package like Adobe Premiere or Windows Movie Maker.  From
there you can easily burn to DVD.  Doing it this way also affords you a
chance to try and "cleanup" the video a bit and maybe add a title or some
other simple edits here and there.
