For a laptop you can buy a simple external usb device for connecting your vcr and capturing your old videos. Here's a nice simple one: http://www.avermedia-usa.com/2005home/product/videocapture/ezmakerusbplus/ezmakerusbplus.shtml.
You can purchase an external one if you have a desktop:

There are also Plextor models that do the most of the work on the device itself: http://www.plextor.com/english/products/product_dvc.html.
There are more companies and models like: http://www.hauppauge.com/ and http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Home/.
You should check your needs and decide.
All of the devices work the same:
You connect your vcr and you press play, on the computer you use the device software and capture your video.
You might try this burning software, it can supports many popular video formats and convert and burn them to dvd. It works pretty well for me. You might have a try for free.
