Don't plug and burn, especially with a laptop.  One little hiccup, and you have a coaster.

Capture the video, to your hard drive, then burn it to a DVD.

Thanks for the warning.  It seems like roxio should have a fix for that problem.

So is there a way to capture the audio and video from my camcorder or a VCR with EMC10?

I am trying to preserve my old family videos.

Yeah, use the Capture program.  If the video camera uses miniDV tapes, capture via firewire.

For capturing, from the VCR, you will need a capture card, or a device like the Roxio USB Capture Device.

BTW, no fix is needed for the plug and burn feature.  It is mainly the computer, and luck, to get it done.  I did the plug and burn, once, just to see if it would work for my computer, and it did.  I was lucky that nothing went wrong, along the way.  I probably won't plug and burn again.
