My overal goal is to get all of my home videos (on VHS, 8mm, and VHS-c) onto DVD and also have the files on my mac to watch and edit whenever i please.

I purchased the "Elgato Video Capture Device" which does a decent job of capturing but creates a mp4 file that takes forever to burn to dvd with IDVD and doesnt even work with BURN (unless i convert it),

with my elgato video capture device is there a software for mac i can get that will let me capture the video in mpeg-2 (DVD format) and then burn it to dvd all in one program?

Currently i am capturing it in mp4, then trying to convert it with mpeg streamclip, then trying to get a decent dvd from "Burn" or IDVD

any help is greatly appriciated.

Thanks!!
