I have a small unit called a Diamond Industry VC500 One Touch Video Capture. I use it periodically, when I'm bored, to transfer family VHS to a hard drive, but it will also transfer to DVDs. The process is slow, as you must watch the VHS as it transferes, or at least be close by as is makes sub-chapters periodically. Also, many store bought VHS tapes cannot be easily copied. It works ok to preserve family VHS which I find are already deteriorating. Besides, as I make the copies it fills us with good memories of the children and grandchildren growing up.
