VHS>Capture card>Capture app>Authoring App>Burning App

Capturing apps let you cap to VCD, SVCD and DVD. Just set it up in your templates and awaaaaay you go

Start by reading the guides in the User Guides forum, and the guides at the upper left of the screen

Try to get a capture card that supports direct mpeg2 dvd capture. This way you don't have to render the file. Then, if you can get a capture card with mpeg2 capture, you can split the audio and video streams with demux, found here at Ted Rossin's site:

This will split your mpeg file into m2v and some type of audio. If the audio is not mp2, use BeSweet GUI or ffmpeg GUI to convert it. Take your m2v and mp2 files and import them into mpeg2schnitt, where you can edit out parts you don't want and save a new m2v and mp2 file without rendering. Then import your new files into GUI for DVD Author and author your dvd. Take the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders that GUI for DVD Author creates and drag them onto a data dvd, and your done!

Simplest and most promising "pack" for any newbie:
1
Buy any oldest ATI All-In-Wonder series videocard (If youre lucky you'll ger 7000 model for $30). With this card you can capture straight to dvd-compliant MPEG-2 format, and results are not worse than capturing with newest cards.
2
Then get a free trial version of TMPG DVD Author. With this tool you can edit commercials out, create menus, burn DVDs and more.

thats all.
Great results guaranteed or personally Ill refund you any monies spent lol, ofcoz providing that you already have there at least 1.4GHz Pentium4 or 2GHz Athlon processor, 256MB+ of RAM, and a dvd writer

You could also get a used Dazzle DVCII for a good price. Once you perform the "Reg3A fix", the card is hard to beat, and the software is excellent.

Plus, the DVCII can be used with a slick little app called Bugsy that a friend of mine (Tateu) from another forum wrote for it a couple of years ago. It allows you to use it as a PVR with timer recordings.

PM me for details if you're interested

I also forgot to mention in my previous post that all that software is free! The only thing you really have to buy is the capture card, mine is a Dazzle DVC 150, but I don't think you can get those anymore because Pinnacle bought Dazzle out.
