You'll want to read the "HOW TO" guides at the left - first Newbie, next capture, then author, then burn.

Most of the software if not all will be free. To capture video you will need a hardware card. The capture card list is offline until next month - go to your local store & browse.

What type of discs are you looking to make exactly?

I am planning to first get it on the hard drive and then burn normal cds...

thanks a lot

As for video do as Kitty says and read the "How to Newbie" section,
there are so many options you will have to do some searching to find
what is best for you.

I found that my HiFi VCR outputs gorgeous stereo sound with very little hiss.

Assuming that you don't have a Dobly NR tape deck, recording onto a HiFi VCR may help you reduce tape hiss. Then you can output the VCR audio to computer giving you great audio without having to mess with audio filters on the computer which I've had very little success.

I will soon test if my VCR does real time HiFi audio filtering via audio inputs (thereby negating the need to record with the VCR) or if I need to record to the VCR to get good signal to noise ratio.
