Hi,

I'm a compete novice - any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Basically I am looking to transfer analog and digital video to my pc then edit it to my liking and burn it onto dvd. As far as I understand so far I need a capturing device - to capture analog video and a dvd writer.
HP dc5000 movie writer (HP dc5000 movie writer (http://www.shopping.hp.com/cgi-bin/hpdirect/shopping/scripts/product_detail/product_detail_view.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@173525424 5.1105392330@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccffadddighmmemcfngcfkmdfondfgf.0&landing=null&category=dvd_writers&subcat1=movie_writers&catLevel=3&product_code=Q6754A%23ABA&tab=detailed_specs) ) seems to offer an all-in-one solution where it will capture my videos and then burn them on to a dvd. It seems a sensible solution but I wouldn't want to sacrifice the quality of my videos and would rather go for a separate movie box for capturing if that's a better option.

Has anyone used one of those and can you comment on its performance? Also is it a real all-in-one or will I need other bits and pieces to connect everything together?

Many thanks for your help again.

If you already own a burner you could just get a card for like 25 bucks that would enable you to do the same things with your current dvd bruner at www.geeks.com
