If I didn't live so far away I could do it for you. I have my VCR connected up to my DVD/Hardrive recorder. I copied a couple of videos for a mate and burnt them to DVD.

Software will be able to grab the video via AV cables.

Then you use other software, don't know how exactly you convert to DVD but I did it to DivX saves on DVD media. It takes a long time to compress it down remember.

1163498 2010-12-21 21:22:00 Depends what the tuner (if you use one) records it as. The leadtek I used to use, WinPVR recorded it as Mpeg2. All I had to do was, use a program that could load Mpeg2, Then I burned it to DVD Speedy Gonzales (78)
1163499 2010-12-21 21:24:00 I have been told that HD Recorders are much easier to use than a computer due to the v v long processing times with the computer.

But yeah ..

If you are getting a TV tuner you might want to consider a bit $$ one like a Freeview one if you plan on using it at all...

1163500 2010-12-21 21:28:00 It wouldnt take that long to process it. Since once you hook up a VCR and record it. Its in a format a computer can play. The only thing you'll be waiting for is the video to finish. Depending on how long it is Speedy Gonzales (78)
