Forgive me if I am making a false presumption here, but it appears you are looking for an easy transfer from analogue tape to dvd without getting in to technicalities. If so, this may help you.

It comes with leads to plug video into the card and sound to the 'ext' of the sound card. It has s-video too.
I bought mine last summer from Maplins for just under £50. Just choose the best setting for mpeg2 and it converts as the tape plays. You then follow the various steps including making of index and chapter pages. Also, update the software when it's installed as there are a few tweaks and bug fixes in that. I've used it and it seems fine to me.
If you have any questions, I will try to help.
Cheers, Sean.
