You need to install a capture card in your computer, and connect from the A/V output of your VHS deck to the input of your capture card. The capture software usually comes with your capture card. Then encode your captured movie files to MPEG1/VCD files by using either of "TMPGenc", "Panasonic MPEG1 Encoder", or "Xing MPEG Encoder". Finally, use "Nero-Burning ROM" or "VCD Creator (from Easy CD Creator)" to burn to a VCD.
