I have a IEEE 1394 Video adaptor on my PC.

Well, VHS is analog so you must have an equipment that captures analog video such as Dazzle hardware which has RCA for connection to the source input on one end and a USB on the other end to connect to the PC. Does your VHS has RCA connection for output?
Some other forum users might have better suggestions.

If you're willing to accept a slight loss in quality (and it's scarcely noticable) get a basic analogue TV card and install that in the computer and then feed the VCR via the RF connections after tuning the card in (over here it's usually round channel 36 - 38) and use the TV card software to capture and then EMC to convert to DVD
If it ain't broke, fiddle with it until it breaks, then fiddle with it until you get it fixed

If you have a VHS player and a DVD Recorder you can link the two and copy from tape to disc.
