Get a video card with S-video output. They are rather common now and
affordable.

&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;I would recommend one of the PVR-X50 from Hauppauge.  They have pretty 
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;good support in Linux.  Some of the included windows software does 
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;exactly what you are planning, just in case you have a windows 
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;partition.  They cost a little more than a standard frame grabber 
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;because it has a hardware based encoder, but the hw encoder produces, in 
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;my opinion a higher quality picture.   I've used a pvr-250 in my mythtv 
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;box for the last three years, I've been quite happy with it.

&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;The 150 will be right up you alley.
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;      
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;My father wants to do the same thing with some old and irreplaceable VHS
&gt; &gt;&gt;tapes.  I picked him up a PVR 150.  I have used one of these in a MythTV
&gt; &gt;&gt;box already, and I have done some very manual video capture with one as
&gt; &gt;&gt;well.
&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;I don't think MythTV is aimed at this sort of video capture, and I don't
&gt; &gt;&gt;think my father would enjoy the command line :p.
&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;I have yet to find a good way for him to capture video and burn DVDs.
&gt; &gt;&gt;In the past I used Kino to grab video from a DV camera and build a DVD.
&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;That was very straight forward and would be perfect for my father.
&gt; &gt;&gt;Unfortunately, Kino will only capture video over firewire and it doesn't
&gt; &gt;&gt;seem to be able to load mpegs (I could hack together a quick tk gui to
&gt; &gt;&gt;capture video if I really needed to).
&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;I have yet to find anything that would be good for his level of
&gt; &gt;&gt;expertise.  I looked at Cinelerra, which looks really nice.  It also
&gt; &gt;&gt;looks much more complex than he needs, and I don't think it will
&gt; &gt;&gt;actually let him master a DVD.
&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;Any suggestions on software I might have missed?  I don't think it would
&gt; &gt;&gt;be terrible if I have to hack up a script to capture the video for
&gt; &gt;&gt;him...  But I think he needs something that will let him edit the video
&gt; &gt;&gt;to some degree (cut the crap off the beginning/end, and mark the
&gt; &gt;&gt;beginning of chapters maybe).
