Hello, I went through this about a year ago, first attempt was with an ATI Radeon 9200 PCI card, I had problems with finding suitable cables and then with macrovision on commercial films. I then bought a Hauppauge WinTV PVR 150, it does hardware encoding which means nil CPU usage. This proved faultless for all my conversions. v4l2-ctl is used to set all the parameters used by the card; the capture command is as easy as $ cat /dev/video0 > raw.mpg I used ffmpeg to encode to DVD format, with the commands $ ffmpeg -i raw.mpg -ss 00:00:02.9 -t 00:49:49.1 -ildct -ilme -target dvd -b 5172k -cropbottom 16 -pass 1 pass1.mpg $ ffmpeg -i raw.mpg -ss 00:00:02.9 -t 00:49:49.1 -ildct -ilme -target dvd -b 5172k -cropbottom 16 -pass 2 pass2.mpg Bitrate was calculated to produce a file sized for a single layer DVD (alter this depending on the length of your mpegs). I used dvdauthor to produce basic DVDs, and http://mightylegends.zapto.org/dvd/dvdauthor_howto.php has an excellent walk-thru on more elaborate DVD menus.
