I have an old movie (Waterhole #3) that I bought on VHS, because it was never released on DVD. It's a legal, licensed copy, and all that jazz, but I want it on a disk instead of VHS. What's needed for that? Do you just need a TV card and some software? What software? What else?

Anyone ever done this? Is there an easier way?

My new PC has the TV tuner with the DVR built in(Hp media center). Recently I have set it up with the VHS machine connected to the TV input on the back of the PC and I've been recording the home-video's as "TV recordings"

It came with Sonic DVD software the allows you to import those files, edit them, add 'chapter' marks (to skip to important places) and then burn them to a DVD.

One note: the picture quality isn't the best (think this is because it has to transcode from analog to digital) But it is good enough

The better the capture card the better the quality. Try and get one with a hardware mpeg-2 encoder on the board, this will help avoid any little skips in the capture.

If you can find a card with the ATI 550 chip, that should do the job nicely.

Excellent. Thanks.

Don't they sell DVD players with built in burners, that supposedly can copy stuff? If so, does anyone know if they're any good?

Standalone DVD burners detect copy protection.

I don't think this thing has been in print in at least a decade. While it's an extremely funny movie, it's also a very offensive one. That's why it's never going to be on DVD. Not unless I rip it and put it there.
