I appreciate the continuing input, but I'm not getting anywhere nearer to a solution. I have another PC (a laptop) doing almost the same thing as I want to do here and it's working fine. I have an ADS Video Xpress box to take the sound and video through USB. The quality is as good as on the DVD...

Why would I use tape? As I said, the recordings I'm making into the DVD recorder are fine. The sound quality is also fine (although perhaps a little quieter than I'd like). What I'm trying to do here is speed up the process. Tape would be a big step backwards in terms of speed.

I have a video camera with which I record conversations. The signal goes into a DVD recorder, where it is recorded onto the hard drive. After that, I burn the recording onto a DVD and transfer the files to a computer and convert the files to .wmv files. I'm trying to take the signal from the DVD...

Hey. I've just had a look around those sites, but I couldn't find anything related to my problem.

I'm already doing these recordings using a DVD recorder, and the sound is fine. After recording on the DVD recorder, I'm burning to a DVD-RW, importing the files into an editing program and converting them to .wmv.I have no problem with that. The problem is that it takes a long time to convert...

Erm... I'm back. I thought the line in worked - and it did - but not as well as I need. I'm just recording conversations in a quiet room. The recordings I made with the line in had too much background noise. I tried feeding the audio into the mic socket, with similar results. I wonder how...

Connecting the audio to the line in worked for me. Thanks. :)

Yeah, I figured that. I was kind of joking... A lot gets lost in the translation, doesn't it? :) (The winky smiley has been duly added to the edit above).

The manual has lots of pictures of RCS cables going from the special RCA adapter to the camera. Maybe I should try putting it into the line in, but I guess I'll have to get myself another cable to do that. As I said, it worked with the Mic in, but the volume was a lot lower than it is when I...

That's basically it in the title - I've put an ATI all-in-wonder RADEON (a few years old) into an old COMPAQ Presario 5000. I'm trying to capture video from a video camera with MS Moviemaker. I'm getting the picture, but no sound is coming through. I can choose 'Microphone' as the audio input...

Well, I know that a CD in the CD drive boots, but a DVD in the DVD drive doesn't. I don't know if a CD in the DVD drive works. I haven't tried that one. I'll try your ideas out later today - I'm busy most of the day. Thanks for the help.

The machine has both a DVD drive and a CD drive. I should have mentioned that, shouldn't I? I'll look into PXE later. Thanks.

I have an old machine. It works really slowly with Windows and I'd like to make use of it by using Linux on it. I like Kubuntu, which comes as a DVD. The bios won't let me boot from the DVD - the CD is OK, but not the DVD. I tried to find how to upgrade the bios, but when I found what seemed...

No, they're not all the same. Here's the second-to-last: and here's the one before that:

Hey. I guess I was much too confident before. I got this same thing a couple of times, and I tried to find a solution, but I couldn't actually find one... Now though, it's just crashed three times tonight. Here's what the Windows de-ah heck said: I'd really appreciate some help. Cheers
