I'm a total newbie to this, I just want to transfer VHS to DVD. AMD 2600(1.9GHZ) 1G RAM, Optorite DD0401, Kworld Xpert TV PVR 878. 40 G HD.

I don't know if my problem is hardware or software related, but MyDVD only has 3 quality settings and no way that I can see to configure the captures. At the highest quality setting(?) I can only get about 1 hour on a 4.7G DVD disk, and the quality is only so so.
Should I look at other software first, or would a better card be in order?
I have been considering ATI, Hauppauge, and Compro.
