need to learn how to record shows, edit out commercials and burn to disk. please help

[sledhead]

OK, i have a diamond extreme video capture card for cable TV and i want to be able to capture, edit the commercials out, and then put on DVD. I run DVD Shrink and Nero.6.1.2. not great with computers, but i figure with the knowledge here i can get it done. I am one that needs programs that are simple to use.

hi sledhead,

have you tried looking at any of the capture guides?

doom9 capture guides (http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/capture.htm)

or browsing through the capture forum?
Capturing Video (http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?f=10)

if you get stuck using a particular method it is a lot easier to provide assistance than if you have not performed any research at all.

well, i was hoping someone would point me in the right direction as far as what program to use. there is so many here and not quit sure which would suit my needs and still work pretty easy. i guess i should take the time and read more of the other forums before i ask huh..... sorry.

Assuming your video card captures to MPEG2 on your PC? Make sure it captures in a DVD-compliant manner e.g. 720x480 or 352x480.

Then you need an MPEG2 editor; I like VideoReDo Plus to take-out commercials in a frame-accurate manner.

If you output from VRD+ as "Elementary Streams" all you need is the freeware MuxMan .15 to make a VIDEO_TS fileset you can burn with your Nero.
