    Radio Shack sells for about $25 a video/audio processor. I have one
and have successfully used it to make copys of video tapes when I was 
unable to do so without the box. From looking at the output signal with
a scope, it appears to increase the video level without changing the sync
level. The recordings aren't always totally clean, but the device works
adequately well in a pinch.
