KISS
As Lancelot says, using a DVD recorder/VHS player combo is the easiest (KISS) solution. However, if you want to edit the VHS footage before committing it to disc then you are entering the world of encoding it to computer - a fairly high-spec machine will cope OK, but anything less will struggle mahoosively. Very time consuming, but ultimately worth it and only requires an analogue/digital encoding device - as GG says, Google will lead you in the right direction.
