can you comment on the quality of the VCR pictures for the new HP DVD writer Dc 4000 that takes in VCR signals at the writer - ..I suspect that the quality is not good as it is software based ( as compared to a simple capture card on the PC)

As I hold a notebook, there is no PCMC IA card that has a composite/VCR input ....so this could be the best bet ?

any comments on the stability of the HP Dc 4000dvd writer compare to the latest LG 4080 ? ( execpt No RAM )
