Record Onto Camera From A Vcr

I have some old vcr tapes that I would like to convert to a DVD.  Is there any way I can connect my camera to my vcr player, start the vcr player and record the video onto my camera?  From what I can tell from the manual, the process can go from the camera to the vcr, but not the other way around?
