RE: Video capture recommendations

You would have to rip the DVD that you just made.  Sure, you shouldn't
loose any quality but burning DVD's is a slow process even on a fast PC
with a hot rod DVD-R drive.  Not only do you have the burn time but you
also have the encoding time.  Ripping takes time too.  It seems more
straightforward to me to go from A to B to C instead of A to D back to B
and then to C.

Still, despite the time it takes to physically produce the disc I've found
that you spend tons more time viewing and re-viewing the tapes and deciding
what you want, where it is on the tape...

If the VHS/DVD recorder produces a DVD, could you not then use that DVD on
your PC to edit and re-record to a new DVD?
