You are running up against Macrovision copy protection, you need a device called a Video Stabilizer which defeats it. The stabilizer has a video IN and video OUT jacks just connect it in between your VCR and your recorder and you should be all set to do what you want to do. They Usually require a 9volt battery too. A stabilizer should be about $30 and they are available at most electronics stores.
Good Luck.
