1228849 2011-09-05 05:19:00 I've done this for friends and it's very time consuming, if you have the time though a cheap capture card or tv tuner with built in capture device (often just as cheap) should do the trick.
I used a tv tuner and set it to record in Mpeg 2 so it was already in the right format and then burnt to DVD using nerovision express with the "don't reencode compliant streams" option ticked (or it takes hours)

You need:
A video player (obviously)
Capture device with the best input possible for your player - in order from best to worst: component, svideo, composite
A cable
A decent amount of hard drive space 5-10 Gig free as an absolute minimum, preferably 20G+ (you can end up with multiple copies during conversion etc)
Capture software - should come with the card
DVD authoring software - a lot of options here, may also come with the card
Patience

The results can be quite good, but probably not worth it for a single video if you have to spend much to achieve it
