tbrewst Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 You should be able to capture to your computer using the dazzle device.Once there use MyDVD to encode and burn them to an iso file.Once you've done this use Disc Copier to create the DVD by burning using the file.If you need more complete instructions let us know.If I'm wrong I'm sure someone else will speak up.

Does my vcr have to be hooked to a tv or can I just hook it straight to my computer? The dazzle hooks to a usb port and I saw something on here about a problem with that. I think they should get all of the bugs out before they sell these things, not after. I really don't see anything "easy" about this program. My computer has frozen up several times after I have worked for a long time getting files where I wanted them and then I lose it all. I will try what you said. Thank you very much.

grandpabruce Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 I'll try it. Thank you so much. Pam Let us know how it works for you. I am waiting on mine, right now. When you capture, capture as an .avi file. It will be a large file but better quality than capturing as mpeg2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
