I would like some help making a dvd using a vcr or sat signal.
I'm pluging my sat in to my computer thru a "allinwonder 8500dv 'video card that can capture up to dvd quality about 7.5 g uncompressed for a 2 hour movie.
I would like to encode to have chapters and a title page and to compress to fit on a dvdr.With the goal to have a dvd that I can play in a regular dvd player or on the one that is in my car.
I need the name of some software ,that can do this as simple as can be as I'am new to this.

You're free to borrow my punctuation and shift keys since yours appear to have gone missing.

Only then may I begin mindreading to work out what you really want help with.

This website (www.doom9.org) is all about this exact thing. Read the guides.

Specifically, the one on capturing:

If you have questions AFTER reading that, that is what this forum is for.

Welcome to Doom9's forum, dogcat. The capture guide shows a step-by-step method of capturing to AVI container, then post-processing for Video CD or for MPEG-4 for PC display. It does not cover DVD authoring, which you want to do.

There are three additional guides I recommend. In the DV Forum (http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=59), bb has written a very nice DV to DVD guide (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60392). DV is a form of AVI from consumer digital video cameras, so while not all of it is applicable, you may find much of it helpful. Then on Doom9's main website, he has two AVI -> DVD guides in his Format Conversion (http://www.doom9.org/conversionguides.htm) page.

You didn't receive the warmest welcome possible from our members, dogcat. That's because you apparently didn't follow Rule #1 and Rule #1A of the forum rules (http://forum.doom9.org/forum-rules.htm). We're pretty strict about following them. In addition, your first post (prior to editing, thank you for changing it) was difficult to understand, even for native English speakers. There are many here for whom English is a second language, and the clearer you are, the better the help you will receive. Thanks!
