There are kits available to allow you to connect a VCR to another devise to allow you to copy the tape.
Without chasing up details, I think the kit has a cable with RCA connectors for the VCR and a USB plug on the other end for the Computer.
Depending on the software, it may first record from the VCR in REAL time to a file, ie one hour tape takes ONE hour to record, once thats done, you put in a suitable capacity disc (CD or DVD) and then record to it which it should do much faster.
Remember a CD even compressed does not have the same storage capacity as a DVD.
CD's hold about 650 Mb whereas a DVD hold 4.5 GB.
There are VCR/DVD Combo's available but even they can only record from a VCR in REAL time.
