How to Convert and Burn VHS to DVD for Permanent Enshrinement

As time goes by and the technology develops, the cassettes era faded out, and seldom do we still use or own the videotape recorder. However, we still value very much our weddings, childbirth, first steps, etc, which may be kept in the VHS tapes, right?
