Gary;
That's fine for Direct Transfer...but if you plan to do it as a
business...need something more fancy..to be able to put in
Headers...swipes...different dissolves. There are some programs that
will do just that.
But as I mentioned...it is time consuming. I have done a few tapes of my
kids...when they were young...but I know what I want on the DVD. Doing
it for others, is like doing a Wedding Album...Bride loves a series of
pictures...Groom doesn't.
Also someone mentioned that Walgreen's is doing that...although we don't
have them in Canada...Wal-Mart may soon pick up on that.
Good concept though, since VCR's and Portable Stereos are a
NO-No for me...need something to take up the slack.

I use the Plextor Convertex to do that. About $150 with software.
Capable of
MPEG2, MPEG4, DIVX. so you can put up to about 10 hours on a DVD at
reduced
quality. You can input to the hard drive in real time but it takes much
longer to burn it. Last 2 hour tape that I did took about 8 hours to
burn.
Used MPEG4, SP quality.
