Doesn't always work... I've tried this myself... while it works on older VHS tapes,my DVD recorder gives me a copyright warning on newer tapes, and won't let me proceed. :'(

No matter who burns them, make sure they're on high quality DVD -R's (Verbatim's are good, stay the heck away from Memorex, Maxell, TDK, HP or even Sony..there's another good Japanese name that starts with a T, but it's escaping me right now.)

Taiyo Yuden (TY) is the name you're looking for

It isn't the age of the tape, it is if it has macrovision on it or not. (I have some shockingly old ones that do, and some very new ones that don't, about 75 percent of my collection of 1200 VHS tapes is macrovision free). There are ways around that though, and your off the shelf PC capture card and software will do the same thing there.
I am assuming the poster is talking about his home videos or something, no one pays people to get their VHS of Happy Gilmore copied over to DVD.

If that is what you need, you can pick up a macrovision buster like the video copymaster.
Even with a Canopus capture card, I had to use this to capture some of my wife's VHS workout tapes to burn to DVD.
