| 240741 | 2004-06-01 02:54:00 | Greetings, Ive got a VHS Cassette here (Parents wedding anniversary) and Im wanting to save the moment onto DVD, mainly because we've only borrowed a Video Player from a friend and are wanting to get as many things on to DVD as possible. We dont record TV Shows, so that's no problem. Basically Im after a way of capturing the Video (Bought the Philips saa7134 chipset card from DSE) and then re-encoding it so it'll play as a normal DVD would (Menus arent neccesary). Ive had a Google for a bit of software and some looks good, but I'd rather get recommendations before I spend time downloading and filling my PC with crap software ;-) OS = Win98SE, WinXP, and Xandros (Xandros for re-encoding only because Ive not setup the kernel modules for the Tuner Card). Many thanks Chill. |

| 240744 | 2004-06-01 05:20:00 | What exactly happens to this gear after you have finished reviewing it? just curious.... |

| 240745 | 2004-06-01 05:22:00 | All hardware, alas, goes back to the vendor. Software we keep. | Biggles (121) | ||
| 240746 | 2004-06-01 05:24:00 | .... it's actually published in the mag under "Reviews Policy" (in the side bar with contacts and what not, in the Mailbox section). | Biggles (121) | ||
| 240747 | 2004-06-01 05:27:00 | Oh . . . . . . I had a vision of the PCWorld staff sitting atop a huge pile of gear acumulated over the last 20 years . . . . . . . Piles of laptops,Top of the line gaming rigs and office systems,scanners,printers . . . Robo's pile would have to be a fair bit smaller,Would take thousands of PDA's and mobile phones to make a pile big enough to sit on . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

| 240748 | 2004-06-01 05:31:00 | I wish ;) Unfortunately, not in this reality ... | Biggles (121) | ||
| 240749 | 2004-06-01 05:38:00 | Unfortunately, Im not in a position to make large software purchases, I probably should have mentioned that in my first post... Preferrably something very low-cost, or Open-Source would be good :-) Chill. |
