I record to DVD+RW (often in 3hr mode so I can get six 30-min eps of a
BBC series on a disc - any lower quality and it really can suffer, and
given how cheap DVD-Rs are - the disc-type it finally ends up on -
there's no need to skimp on such things) which I copy to the PC with
DVD Decrypter and that'll store the individual programmes as .vob
files, which can then be imported into Mpeg Video Wizard.
