I'd recommend Hauppauge cards. Pricewatch has a nice card listed for $40. Portage has a driver called ivtv, http://www.ivtvdriver.org, for Hauppauge and other video capture cards. You just hook up a normal VCR to the card, record the input, and use software to transcode the video to mpeg-2 format. With dvdauthor and a few other tools (as listed on the dvdauthor website, dvdauthor.sf.net), you can burn it to a DVD. Hope this helps, Mark Shields You have some capture tips, after capture you might want to try any2vob/any2dvd. Developed on gentoo but AFAIK no official ebuilds. Search any2vob on forums.gentoo.org for a very extensive thread on its use. any2vob turns almost any video file into a dvd compliant .vob file. any2dvd leverages any2vob and then creates a DVD iso with menus, chapters at predefined intervals etc. The home page is un-preposessing, but the program works well: http://mightylegends.zapto.org/dvd/any2vob/ Go up a dir and there is some documentation and the author's own ebuilds which you can add to your overlay. http://mightylegends.zapto.org/dvd/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I can't remember if I used Kino to create the dvd too, but I think so. Simply, reasonable results, and worked for me.
