Help Needed For MPEG-VOB Conversions PLEASE

[stillcool]

I recently aquired a motion capture card so I can convert films on VHS tape to DVD with pretty title screens etc but I'm having problems getting the software to work. The capture card is a WinFast VC 100 XP and I'm using the bundled software that came with it. The WinFast capture software is fine and rips the film great in MPEG 1 mode but when I try to manipulate the images and author them to DVD I get error messages. The editing & authoring software is Ulead Movie Factory 5 and Ulead Video Studio 7 SE DVD. Whenever I try to save the project to disc or just back up my work as a new MPEG I get error messages just as it finishes the save which can be anything from 40 mins to 6 hours depending on what I've told it to do.
Is it me or is this software crap.

If anyone out there has any sugestions, whether it be alternate software or anything else I would be grateful.

If I can get the trimmed finished MPEG files to VOB files that would be great as Clone DVD 2 will crush 2 films to 1 DVD won't it & DVD Shrink will do it with a title page too!

Also will home DVD recorders rip a VHS tape DIRECTLY to a DVD at decent quality? - this might be one option as the effort might not be worth the result with the capture card!

Oh my PC spec is P4 2.2 with 512MB Ram & about 55 Gb spare over 2 partitions - cheers
