I have been trying to make the best looking home videos possible for the last week and have been having good success except for the time issues. I have to get the videos off old VCR tapes.

1 hour transfer from VCR to digital camera
1 hour transfer from digital camera to PC via firewire(DIVO)
1 hour audio decompression in Virtual Dub
2 hours mpeg encoding(elementary) in Canopus
.5 hours authoring in DVD Lab Pro
1 hour to compile video in DVD Lab Pro
.25 hours to Burn in DVD Lab Pro

= 6.75 hours of recording, encoding, decompressing, authoring, burning but what i get looks great.

Does my method produce the best quality video i will get in the end? or will a simple product like Sonic MyDVD look the same?

Such a long process. Computer memory is eaten up by Canopus and DVD Lab Pro. Does anyone else's take this long?

Couple things- A Canopus device should be able to convert and input your vcr signal into computer without the need for the transfer to camera. Encoding is what it is once the AVI is on computer. Not sure about the need for audio de-compressing?
1 hour compile seems a bit long.....Dvd Lab compiles for me in about 12 minutes.
