Hello,Ok I did a search for labtops and couldn't find any topics,so I started this one,I'm looking for both advice and comments,I own a
Dell Inspiron 1.0 ghz,P3,256mb,32mb video card,WinXP

I am pretty new to messing with editing,and I started out with a Dazzle digital creator 80,and learned my first lesson about this stuff,and thats that VideoWave can cause screaming and throwing of objects...it just happens.

Anyways I've made my share of vcd's (and I hate them,quality sucks,my fault,but still sucks) and I'm done with them. I'm buying a Pioneer DVR-A04,from what I've read its the best,for price at least. I have a USB 2.0 busport card and I'm going to buy the ADS USB 2.0 device drive,so I will have a dvd burner*yay*,now I need something better to capture with because the dazzle80 only captures at vcd standards,so I'm getting the ADS USB Instant dvd,wich will capture at higher rates and I've read good stuff about,and I'm also going to pic up another 20gig drive to store stuff on,so after all these purchases I will have what I need to start.

Now for all you pro's out there,is there anything I just listed that looks wrong,meaning will I have a nice set up when finished with buying the above said items. I've spent the past 4 months trying to read and learn all I could before I did this,I'm only in it for personal hobby stuff and family videos,but I still want them to turn out good.

Also I use UleadDVD factory to burn my vcds,svcds,xvcds right now,is there anyone here who uses it to burn dvd's and if so how is it?

I apologize if I put this in the wrong forum or if I asked a question thats already been asked before,and I also thank whoever offers some insight

thank you,
