Unless your DirecTV receiver has a composite (analog) output of some type, like a component level or RF level, it'd be a waste of time because the signals aren't compatible. Connect your VCR to the a/v outputs on the DirecTV box.

How do you convert old vhs-c cassettes to dvds. they are the little ones that you would put into a vhs tape adapter then put into a vhs player to watch. how would i convert to a dvd. please help asap?

Using the adapter, play the tape as normal on a VHS player. You also need a dedicated DVD recorder, or a computer with DVD burner and AV capture card. Hook the VHS player to the computer or recorder via the Phono leads (or SCART in europe). Connect the video OUT of the VHS to the Video IN of the DVD recorder or computer capture device. Do similar with the audio leads. The rest depends on the make and model of your DVD recorder, or the software you are using on a computer. Basically it can be done quite easily, but it has to be done in 'real time'. You play the tape normally and capture it on the device of your choice. Using a computer and editing software, you can do more with editing and adding effects and titles.
