Newbie Here Needing Startup Info

[TazDevil]

Hello everyone I am new to all this video stuff and have been looking over this site to try and get started in the hobby of video creations, and vas wondering if some of you could point me in the right direction for the information I need?
What I am wanting to do is take my old home movies and transfer them to DVD Disks for playpack in standalone DVD players using a VCR with composit video to the ATI all in wonder. I have attempted several tests but the quality was not good at all, IE sound sync issues, noise blocks, high pixalation when playing back DVD and some disks not playing in DVD player. I am using the settings that come in in the ATI all in wonder softwear package that comes with there card and using Nero 6.3 for burning.
I have been trying to read the guides on this site but there are so many that I do not know where to start.
could anyone offer any advice/help on this ? I will be your bestist friend if you can......lol
thanks for any info you provide
