I'm in the process of moving and I've just found a huge stash of old VHS tapes buried way back in the loft. Instead of packing them all up in boxes, I wished I could transfer their content to DVDs, which take up much less space in my new living room. I just didn't want to deal with recording through my PC in the process.

Luckily, SONY has answered my prayers.

They're marketing something they call DVDIRECT. It's a standalone video recordable DVD drive. So you can use it with your computer (they provide the software) but you can also record directly from your video camera or VHS player. It was just what I was looking for -- a way to burn DVDs without hooking everything up to my computer.
