With the number of people who are experimenting with video these  
days, are there any good tutorials available on the web which explain  
the various ways one can accomplish such feats?  My personal goal is  
to convert all of my VHS movie library to DVD as I'm sure those  
should last a bit longer than the tapes.  Plus as time goes by,  
coming by the VCR machines to play tapes will get more difficult.  
(anyone remember/have an 8-track audio player?)

I currently am using iLife '06 with my MDD dual 867 to work on this  
project, but it is very slow going.  Actually burning the DVD doesn't  
take that long, it's all the processing that is necessary to get it  
into the proper format that is time consuming.  Plus you naturally  
want to add chapters and such to make your DVD as visually appealing  
as the original movie.  I went through a lot to get all my old vinyl  
records into digital format and it looks like the video will take  
even longer!
