Java, you need to remember that the FAQ is talking about playing back DVDs
on regular players...you seem to be talking about the capture process and
the conversion to digital from an analog source, which has nothing to do
with the section you referenced in the FAQ.....BTW, for searching, you
either use the hyperlinked index to go to the exact section you are
interested in, or you could also use CTRL-F, which brings up a keyword
search function in just about any browser and can be used on ANY webpage
