dRD,I have 4 more questions for you please.
1.Do you think Hauppauge WINTV PCI is a good card?
2.With this card,can I capture at 704x576 as you proposed before (thread:Newbie questions)?
3.The maxinum resolution when I want to capture depends on the card or with Virtual Dub I can choose any resolution I like?
4.Is it possible to capture a 2-hour video from a VHS tape,and then burn it to one cd?How can I do this?

Sorry for my stupid questions...

I really don't know about that specific model, but I assume it supports the full PAL or NTSC resolution. Could anyone confirm this, Hauppauge's site sucks?

Only thing what it seems to lack is S-Video input, but most of the people don't use that one anyway (it gives you better picture quality from i.e. VCR if your VCR has S-Video output).

I would recommend using AVI_IO for capturing purposes and use "real" resolutions when capturing -- full TV resolution (704x576 or 704x480). Anything else has to resize the picture when capturing and that drops the quality.

Yeah, you just capture the video using non-lossy format like M-JPEG -- takes few gigs of HDD space -- and then encode the video using DivX 4.12 2-pass technique and shrink the movie to one CD. I would still recommend using 2 CDs for appx. 2hr clip. DivX-quality stays nice when you stick appx 60-80mins of video to one 74min CD.

Although, if you want to make CDs that play with your regular DVD player, use VCD.cfm" class="forum_link" target="_blank">VideoCD or SVCD formats instead of DivX. Those take slightly more space, 2hr movie takes 2CDs in VCD format or 3CDs in SVCD format.
