Just for the laptop having an S-VHS output doesn't mean you can use it as an input. Most laptops have this connection to output the visual from the LCD screen, not for recording to the laptop, but I think there are some that have integrated TV Tuner, if this is the case you provably will need this cable:

Exactly, anyone will be for the safe function, but first be sure your DVD burner and DVD Player (if you're going to watch it on TV) can read that brand/type of DVDs.
