I've never used those devices you're talking about, but I imagine it doesn't give you much control (if any) over menus, backgrounds, music that plays during the menues, etc. Your best bet is to input the video into your computer. You will either need a tv card or some type of capture device. They have them as pci cards or ones that plug into your USB port. Just plug your vhs player outputs in and use the software that comes with it to record it as a computer video file. Then you can use DVD authoring software to set up the dvd, then burn. I've heard of syncing problems, but I assume if your computer can keep up you shouldn't have any problem. You're going to need a decent computer with a whole lot of hard drive space though.
