to do it simply just get a cheap capture card with connexant chipset on it 'nothing else comes close to quality for price then to keep it easy just use Windvd to capture direct ,its that easy

my card has connexant chipset on it should a capture avi or mpeg the file as i said is 60 mins long and i want 2 fit that on 1 80 min disc vcd /svcd but every time i capture it good quality it wont fit on 1 disc and if i drop the quality i get like small squares in the picture if i use win dvd what settings do u think i should thanks very much for your replay
