I dunno if my transferring method would be ideal for you or not - but I have some really nice results when transferring some VHS tapes to DVD already. I would be transferring them straight from the VHS onto a standalone Liteon LVW 5005B DVD Recorder. I would only transfer in either 1, 2, or 3 hour mode - I wouldn't go beyond these times as it can pixelate pretty badly after this point.
I also have this recorder and have had good results recording from SKY Digital and from PAL VHS. I would stick with 2 hour mode at the most as the 3 hour mode tends to lose a bit of quality.
I have the 5 main releases of the OT and SE (91, 93, 95, 97 and 00) in Wide and Full screen which I intend to preserve to DVD at some point in the future.
The Star Wars Executor Boxset VHS (1995) would make a fine addition to my future efforts.
