I just bought and installed a hp dvd writer 200i, I use a hollywood dv bridge from dazzle to capture. I captured about 30 min of a store bought dvd using the software supplied with the burner (sonic my dvd) and burned it with that also, seemed to work pretty well. I have read what seems like many posts on this site that the hp software is not very good, what is the most recomended software for capturing, editing, and burning? I have just captured a movie from my svhs, it is in the avi format of course, what is the best converting software to convert this to mpeg2 or what ever the highest quality format I can use with my dvd burner? The dvd burner media is dvd+r, dvd+rw, cd-r, cd-rw. As you can tell, I am just getting started, any input would be great, thanx in advance.
