Do people vid cap?

[DerianCypher]

I finally decided that I want to capture my favorite tv shows (mainly everwood, smallville, stargate and possibly enterprise) to my computer and burn em to DVD.

So, I was wondering.. am I odd or is this a common practice?

I know that some people do this, but most of us who would even consider it (and I have) lack the hardware (TV card, DVD burner), the know-how, and/or the commitment.

I've also seen some vidcaps that are disappointing quality. I think you need digital cable as well, if you want DVD quality.

BTW, Everwood rocks. Best new show of this past season.

Yes, everwood does indeed rock

I'm seriously considering hacking my Tivo/DirecTV unit to be web-accessable and downloadable so I can burn SVCD copies. I'm told you can even download it in the format you want...

I just saw a review tonight on a tech show about a PC alternative: http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/products/story/0,24330,3439246,00.html ...I couldn't tell you anything about it, but I think it stores everything as mpeg, and so you can burn it to DVD.
