There are basically three steps involved:
1. Capturing (from VHS to avi). You need some special HW to do this.
2. Editing and converting from avi to mpeg.Fast PC recommended
3. Authoring and burning. CD or DVD writer is essential.

For all these steps How-Tos and guides are availble (left side)

Why are these How-Tos titled:
Capture
Convert
Author

and so on ...?

Are these captions so difficult to understand?`
If someone tells me: look at How-To Convert, would I look somewhere else? IMHO, if I see something, which says 'How To: Convert' in friendly letters on it, I'd expect some advice 'How to Convert' inside.Or am I so wrong?
