Can I capture directly from a standalone DVD player to my co

[Big_Jit]

I was just wondering if you could capture audio + video from a standalone DVD player to a capture card on my computer.

videos this way .

big_Jit,

In short, YES and I use my WinTV PVR USB for my dvd captures.
* has hardware MPEG1/2 (forget mpeg1) (mpeg2 better results)
* captures of dvd movies is great - just burn to cd (minus a few steps)

yes you can but for the same price as a capture card you can get a dvdrom (16x sony dvdrom $60us here localy). I have both a dvdrom and a wintv pvr pci and the quality is far superior from the dvdrom method. But the capture from the pvr is a hella quicker.

Thanks everybody! I'll Check it out. I didn't know if you could do it because you know how vcr's can't record dvd's right?... So i didn't know, but now i'll definetly start capturing from dvd.
