No.

That is because they do not exist.

   There is no such thing as a dvd cassette. What do you expect an electrical outlet to do besides supply AC current?

   If you want to copy home recorded vhs tapes to dvd the easiest solution is a combination dvd/vhs recorder. See below for examples:

   Commercial VHS tapes are copyguarded with a process called macrovision to prevent them from being duplicated readily

   Your question is a bit confusing, but here goes:

   As I understand it, you have material that you have recorded on videotape, probably from TV broadcasts. You now want to transfer this material to DVDs. If that’s the case, there should be no problem. You will need to have a DVD "burner" in your computer. If you don’t have one already, they only cost about $40 or so for an internal drive, or under $100 for an external one. Alternatively, you can buy a stand-alone DVD recorder (like a VCR except that it records onto DVDs) and use that to copy your tapes onto DVD. Connect your VCR’s Output connectors to the recorder’s Input connectors – this usually requires 3 cables, typically color-coded red, white and yellow. Play your tape, and start the DVD recorder, and you’re off to the races.

   If you want to burn any movies to DVD, usually free version only have the basic functions and poor services and watermark, i have used the good and inexpesive trial version AVS Disc Creator, you can try it, it can create standard video DVD from any videos, it can burn mulit videos to one disc, it can auto fit the size, it can directly convert and burn any videos to DVD, such as avi to DVD, etc.

   Work well on my computer, it is trail version, register version willl remove watermark limit, inexpensive, good service and quality, i like it, following is a step by step guide about Video DVD Creator:
