I have been burning all of my VHS tapes to DVD so I can get rid of the space consuming tapes, but some of them won't record. I'm assuming that it has to do with copyright protection on the tapes. I understand the movie studio's concerns, but I've already paid for the tapes and shouldn't have to spend more money to buy a DVD of a movie I already own. Is there anything I can do to remedy this problem with my recorder?

Yes. You can buy a special copywrite remover scart that plugs into the output scart on the video and into the input on the dvd recorder.I hope this helps.
