There are devices to capture TV video signals for display on a computer screen. Any kit that will allow your computer to burn DVDs from your VHS tapes should work.
I am not up on the current prices; but just off the top of my head, I think I saw a video capture kit at Fryes Electronics, Renton, WA, USA, recently, for somewhere near $200. I think the conversion hardware was external. If all you needed was the conversion hardware, you can probably get it for under $100.
If you have a Fryes store near you, go to the computer section and tell them what you want to do. I am sure they can show you something that will do the job on a desktop, and likely also for laptop.
