This will not work the easy way, cos most DVDs have a Macrovision protection on them, which scrambles the movie when you try to back it up onto video tape.
Anyway, copying to a video tape isn't the best thing to do. The quality of the movie is really bad then.

There are macrivison removers available, but they are rather expensive. More expensive than a dvd writer, but it is up to you.

Maybe you can set your DVD Player Macrovison free, but I don't know if that helps.
