Mods, please move this if needed, I wasn't sure the best place to put it.
My Grandfather passed away on Easter and while we were going through the house we found a lot of old home movies we forgot he had and I wanted to convert them to DVD before they degrade.
Basically I have a 3 or 4 year old ATI TV Wonder VE (remote), but the ATI software is such a piece of crap excuse for software, I refused to load it after my last reformat and stopped using the card. I got it on last night, but it isn't working worth a damn (as I remember ATI software doing, Especially Multimedia Center) so before I go through the headaches of getting it to run right, my question is:
1. Is there software that will use the Tuner card to easily record high quality video (at least keep the VHS quality) without using ATI's mess?
2. Would it be easier to get a VHS/DVD combo and just hit record? Wouldn't be able to do Chapters, but I figured I would rip the disc back to the PC then do my editing.
Any other suggestions from people that might have done this?
