Ive been reading and cross-referencing back and forth on all the very exaustive and well written information on DFAQ for a few years now,and I was wondering if admin could put together an up-to-date "short-list" of currently availabe (New and old) software/Hardware and workflow, for beginners like me,who aren't quite as well versed with this stuff, and a kind of quick guide to help me get rolling along???then as I stumble along, I can go back to your more detailed guides when I need to.I guess an example would be like the "Cheatsheets" we use in pest control for figuring our mixes,but with Video instead???[list][*]Hardware,Software,workflow for VHS toDVD Basic[*]Hadware,Software,Workflow for VHS to DVD Advanced[*]Softare,Workflow for VHS to Hard Drive[*]DVD to Hard Drive wokflow,Software

Now you already DO have such guides!,But I guess I'm talking about an even more condensed and shorter guide for quick reference,for dummies like me with A.D.D., who get confused,distracted and need lots of Help Remembering what I was doing on the computer yesterday!!!

Maybe a list from admin without any 2nd or 3rd choices that decides for me(?) depending on which outcome is desired,Like for for VHS to DVD,(assuming capture is already done);Edit with Womble,Filter with V-Dub,Encode with Tmpeg,Burn with Nero,Make covers,lables with xxxx,...If that is possible??

I was trying to explain how frustrating it is for a 4 year newcomer to all this Video AND Computer stuff to transfer VHS to DVD (or to Computer),all while trying to juggle a very demanding Job at the same time..After being disappointed with the results from the standard VHS to DVD "COMBO" Units available on the current consumer market,(before I even started with a computer)..I found your site a truly refreshing wake-up call!!..So after stumbling into, and picking up the proper hardware,and fixing all the bugs that come with setting that stuff up! I guess my main problem is selecting the right Software that will complete my workflow !!! I just installed the Womble Mpeg VCR from the Premium member's section and it worked great with My MPEG CAPTURES!! so far from ATI AIW card...SO I guess my original request is for a 2012 DFAQ-All-in One Guide for VHS to Hard Drive Hardware/Software Guide???Because everything is moving to Cloud-Based Media..But we all have family and friends who are still, just now getting into Disc-Based Media Thank

Just to further refine my suggestion, (Say For Video Capture)- My personal confusion really is with which Software to use once I have a Good looking capture file,depending on what I want to do with that file? (Some captured footage is good to go,some needs a little or lot of Filtering and/or cutting or re-arranging,Ect)..(done quicker on the win7 computer?)..After all,The Capture Hardware decisions and set up has already been done, on the VCR-TBC-WinXP-ATI Card End of things,so personally I was a little confused about which editing/Filtering software would work best thats available today..(then I found out the Earlier versions of VirtualDub and Womble available on DFAQ work just fine on my newer Computer!!
