I am also interested in the best low cost solution for this - but I also
work with a profesional filmmaker who makes DVDs with a $250 standalone
DVD recorder. They look great, and don't tie up the computer for simple
transfers. If you don't need to edit them this might be a good idea. If
you want to edit and customize them then all that's needed is the input
device... which I'd like to know about too!

My VCR is connected to a Miglica Director's Cut 2 video converter box, which in turn is connected to my G4 Mac with a FireWire cable. The VCR sends movies or other video through the Miglia into iMovie or Final Cut Express, where I edit it, and then I can burn it onto a DVD or send it back out to videotape in the VCRs (the Miglia can connect to TWO VCRs at once, or one plus a TV monitor).
This converter box is stone-simple to use and produces video with great sharpness and color.
You can check the Miglia DC-2 video converter out here: http://www.miglia.com/products/video/director2/
Price is under $300.
Also get some big, fast hard drives (external firewire drives work fine) to capture and store video.
