Depends on the quality you expect - AutoGK and the codecs it uses are very lossy, meaning you can't maintain the original quality, plus it will lose even more quality if you ever have to burn more copies to DVD. Since you're already converting them to DVD, why not just burn several copies and give them to family members who can both help keep them safe and enjoy them? It makes no sense that you'd be so adamant about keeping a copy on your hard drive, and you won't find a way to do it with any real quality that won't take up a lot of drive space. If you really want to keep the original capture files on a hard drive, maybe go out and buy a USB drive - they're pretty cheap now, and you can unhook it and store it in a closet until you need the data. Just make sure you fire it up every five years or so and run disk check on it, as the magnetic media will degrade over time.
