Have WinTV-PVR 350 installed by tech, but have not been able to successfully download a movie from my Sayno VHS to burn it to DVD. Need step by step instuctions to follow as I am a beginner on burning anything.

It requires DVD authoring software. The process is basically: 1) Capture the movie from the VHS tape to your computer's hard drive. This means playing the whole movie on the VHS which is connected to your WinTV card. While the movie runs the analog video and audio on the VHS tape is digitally sampled by the WinTV device and recorded as a MPEG2 file. For a 2 hour movie, it will end up being almost 5GB size file, so you have to make sure you have plenty of free space on your hard drive. You will be able to play back this file on your computer with Windows Media Player or similar type software. 2) You need DVD authoring software to then convert that MPEG2 file into the files that make a DVD and burn these files to a blank DVD disk. In creating the DVD files, the software uses another chunk of hard drive space at least as big as the original MPEG2 file. This is where no one can help you unless you state which kind of DVD authoring software you are using and somebody who has used that particular software can then describe the best way to go about it. I tried doing this myself using MyDVD software which came with a video capture card I brought a few years ago. It did not work. I can tell you that MyDVD will not do what you want to do. The only format which MyDVD uses to make DVDs will only put about 70 minutes of video on a standard 4.8GB DVD disk. I tried some other free software choices, but not with any success. I finally brought a standalone DVD recorder for $100 and will emphatically state that as the best way to put a VHS movie collection on DVDs. All you have to do is put a blank DVD disk in the recorder, play the VHS tape and watch the movie on the TV. When the movie ends you stop the recording and have the DVD recorder finalize the disk. The DVD on playback looks just a good as the VHS original. The real advantage of capturing a movie to your computer is that you can do editing of the movie if you have MPEG2 editing software.

Some good information from pyrolitic! If you have Nero, depending upon its version and options, it might do the DVD burning for you. I use it and have had good luck with it. A good place to go for help with video is: http://www.videohelp.com/
