im new to this, as far as capturing from vhs or camcorder, and im wondering if some of u guys that have been doing it for a while can tell me the best way to go. i want to put some of my home movies on vcd, but i want to keep the quality to the best as it can be, plus i have alot of video tapes that i would like to put on vcd. what is the best device to use?????? ive seen those dazzle products and capture cards, so any help will be helpful. also is there something that will convert straight to mpeg so i don't have to convert from avi????
