VCR to DVD

[padawe]

I have several VCR tapes which I would like to convert to
DVD. Is there any product similar to DVD shrink for VCR tapes?
I know that I can convert VCR to DVD using Dazzle, but that
requires using more than 1 DVD per movie and I would like to
put it all one disc.

"Is there any product similar to DVD shrink for VCR tapes?"

No.You would first have to "Capture" the VHS footage to a digital video format such as AVI or Mpeg. Once you have accomplished that, try the following method for conversion to DVD:

1. Convert the AVI/mpeg file(s) to a DVD compliant mpeg-2 file(s) using "TMPGEnc" or "TMPGEnc Plus". Use the DVD template (NTSC or PAL) form the "Project Wizard" to help you accomplish the task. (If your capturing device and or software already converts to a "Compliant" mpeg-2 file on the fly, then skip this step and go directly to step 2).

2. Then use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (different than "TMPGEnc") to author the newly created mpeg-2 into a DVD-related file structure (.IFO, .BUP, .VOB). As an alternative, you can use "DVDLab" to author as well.

3. If the combined filesize of the project exceeds 4.37 Gig, use "DVD Shrink" or similar transcoding program to compress.

4. Use "Nero" or similar burning program to burn onto a DVD (r, rw) disk.
