If it is a commercial tape it is a nogo.
Wether or not it is old has no bearing it is still protected.

A friend asked if I could convert a few VHS tapes to DVD. I've done
many, so I said OK. One tape he gave me is a commercial
movie--obscure, but one of his favorites--and it's never been
released as a DVD. It has Macrovision.
Is there a legal way to do this conversion without buying expensive
equipment like EyeTV? It's for a tape that he bought for his own use
and wants to convert to a newer format for his own use. So far, our
JVC VCR to Samsung DVD recorder doesn't work. We also have a cheap
Philips VCR, a pro model Panasonic SVHS PV-S4990, and a VHS
camcorder ca. 1985, and Canon Elura DV camcorder that we will try.
Help! Did this issue fall through the cracks of the DMCA?
