As the title says, I'm looking for a program. The problem is that it is not for me, it is for a friends family. They want to build a computer to capture their VHS home movies and make them into DVDs. They were originally going to buy a Dell, but I told them I could probably find all of the parts for cheaper.
This family is not very tech oriented at all though. So, I need a program that can do this in a very simple manner. I tried searching this forum, but I couldn't find anything in the past year that dealt with this specifically.
Having capturing, editing, and author/burning is important because it really needs to be as simple as possible.
If it comes with the DVD writer, thats great, but it needs to capture too. Also, I don't know if any capture cards would come with software that supports DVD authoring/burning. If it does, but some features are neutered, thats fine. I can't imagine they want to get to complicated. And finally, I don't think that a $700 piece of software is going to be in the price range.
Oh, and did I mention I would give them a list of what it would cost by tomorrow?
Any suggestions would be spectacular.
