I am not a serious DVD creator but I bought a capture card for my PC to
record TV programs. I thought it was a good way to get rid of the VCR
without buying a standalone DVD recorder. I don't think it was the brightest
idea I ever had but that's what I did.
For editing TV programs and removing commercials VideoReDo Plus is
fantastic.
I had a copy of Ulead Movie Factory 3 (SE?) that came with some hardware.
Found it easy to use to make a simple DVD. If you want to really jazz up
your DVDs you would probably want something better. Ulead would edit the
video to cut a commercial but I found getting the cut in right place to be
tedious compared to VideoReDo.
I now have a DVD player that understands fast-forwarding through mpeg2 files
so now I just burn my capture onto a DVDRW and don't bother editing
commercials or making a DVD unless I have captured something like a movie or
documentary I want to keep.
