Roku - VCR - Digital Converter

Ditto to centralradio's suggestion to use the line inputs on your VCR. I have a Roku also, and do it this way just fine (using the VCR as an RF modulator / source selector).

Another thought would be to buy a composite A/V switch with built-in RF modulator, if your VCR doesn't have source inputs.

Does the Rat Shack still carry the TV RF modulator? I do remember seeing one at Walmart.I dont recall if both have a an RF switch on them.

If you like building things like I do. The last resort is make one up taking a modulator out of a junked VCR by hooking a power supply and a RF switch on it and put it into a small box.The pinout should be easy to figure out which pin does what.You can eliminate the Stereo Y adapter by mounting the 2 RCA jacks on the box along with the comp video input jack..

Walmart has the comp video/audio source selector boxes there.I got 4 of them from there over the years.They have some that selects 3 devices and some that select 4 devices.
