Im not sure i follow you. You want to capture your 8mm video, put it on to DVD, but not convert it to DVD format? If this is what you want, put the captured files on DVD in data mode. You will be able to store, but not watch on a DVD player. I cant see why you would want to do that though. 2 hours converting to DVD isnt that bad!

Yeah basically, use your capture board tog et them to the hard drive and then convert to mpeg2 and then DVD Format. Enclose in a VIDEO_TS folder and burn as DVD ROM UDF/ISO in Nero or Data in Record NOw Deluxe
