Walk me through this please...

I need some help burning recorded TV onto a DVD, and have it playable on set top players. I am planning on recording Brown's games and shipping them over to a guy I know who just started a 16 month tour in Iraq.

I use an EVGA indtube to watch tv OTA, and only have the included cyberlink TvEnhance software. It has a recording feature and uses one of the MPEG encoders. What programs will allow me to cut out all the commercials (They are out there serving, they don't need to be advertised at), convert to an acceptable quality/size ratio and then burn to a DVD that will work with a set top player.

I've always just watched DVDs and recorded TV on my computer, so going to a DVD on a set top is something I've never learned.

Thank you for your responses.

Assuming you're talking football, I wouldn't put more than 2 hours on a single layer DVD, so each game may take two discs. The link above should guide you on your way.

yeah the above link is good...but try this tool specifically to encode from MPG to DVD

I have not used this tool in a while but it is very easy. There are a lot of specific help on this site also in the forums.

Once you start trying to get these burned this fall just ask and I am sure we will be jumping to help.
