Brand new at this Suggestions and help welcome

Hi all

So I just got a VHS/DVD recorder and have decided that I am finally going to attempt  to transfer my 1995 Star Wars  (OT) widescreen edition box set to DVD. I know, It's VHS so your all probably less than impressed, but the quality is good enough for me. So I could go about this in two ways I could just do a straight transfer, or I could transfer to disc then import into my mac and add a menu with chapters etc. I'm sort of leaning toward the later but I have no experience in this area so any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I realize that there is a wealth of info here on this site and most likely everything I need to know is here, but I don't know what to look for, so if all you do is layout the steps I need to take and maybe direct me to a thread or two that would be fabulous.

Thanks in advance!

Now off to search the site.

P.S. I figured since I am asking for help that the How To section was the correct place for this post. If however I was wrong please forgive the transgression and move the thread to the appropriate location.
