Until I uploaded a DVD here, no one seemed to give a damn how it was authored as long as it played. I have always used a standalone deck, as that is what I could afford at the time. However, I guess the norms change as software improves and people become more used to the improved results. So, I'd like to be able to properly put chapters in and make nice title menus. I have "sonic record-now" on my computer, but it is REALLY slow and cumbersome.

I need recommendations for good software for DVD authoring.

I also need this question answered: With authoring software, can I capture the video on my standalone, then reauthor to create a title menu and correct chapters? If not, I need video card recommendations too, because my video card only allows digital input, so I can't convert VHS.

Thanks in advance. Once I get things converted, my wife will also thank you as I have literally a room full of boxes of great music on VHS@
