[TechAssist] Re: Looking for VHS to DVD recorder

I play a DVD on my computer by connecting the home DVD player to my ATI
All In Wonder 8500DV video/audio input jacks and the display on the
computer monitor is superb at full screen. No flicker at all. Maybe you
have just tried older capture cards made when the technolgy was still
not very good at graphics speed or you were using a slow computer?
