Looking for advise from those who have blazed this trail before me.... I am going to create DVD backups of the commercial VHS tapes I have. I plan on being able to play them both on my computer and also on the DVD/VCR combo (less than 2 years old) hooked to my TV. I have blank DVD+R media. I bought a WinTV-PVR USB2. It comes with ULEAD DVD MovieFactory 2SE, and WinTV2000 that I can record the tapes from. In reading the manual, I am confused as to what format to record in, as it states to record in MPEG-1 VCD. Why wouldn't I use the DVD standard, long or Extra long settings? Once I have this recorded to the HD, I have Windows Movie Maker and ArcSoft Video Impressions to author (Chapters and menu) with. Since they are new adn I ahven't got to play wiht them much, I am assuming they do this? Any format I need in particular to save the authored versions in? I have Nero Express PowerDVD to burn with. Any advice on how to make this successful for what I am doing? settings etc... Thanks in advance!
Ignore the manual. Record in mpeg-2, dvd format for your location (PAL or NTSC). Once recorded, open the video in Ulead, and author it, then burn the finished VIDEO_TS folder to disk, using the DVD Video template in Nero.
