What I mean is, can it play on a dvd player on my big HD TV?

That depends on what format you captured the file as. Side note...keep in mind that anything you capture with the Leadtek will look like ass on your HDTV. Especially if you use the factory supplied capture software, and especially if you are capturing straight to MPEG1/2 🙂

The card gives has several options:

MPEG1 (VCD) - (320x)
MPEG2 (SVCD/DVD) (480x/720x)
AVI (MJPEG, Huff, MPEG4 [Divx, Xvid], etc.)

If you captured as VCD/SVCD compliant MPEG1/2, then yes, you can use a program like Nero to burn to VCD/SVCD. Of course, if the file is over 800MB, you'll need a program to split it for 2, 3, 4 CDs (see below.) Most DVD players will recognize these.

If you captured as DVD compliant MPEG2, then yes, you can use a DVD authoring software to create a DVD image which can be burned to DVD-/+R.

If you captured as .avi, then you need to encode to MPEG1/2. A nice, inexpensive program to do this is TMPGENC. MPEG1 encoding is free, MPEG2 encoding is 30 days, then you have to pay for a license.

I suggest all you video/capture noobies downloading and playing with the following (Google for links):
*VirtualDub - free program for video editing. Doesn't natively handle MPEG1/2 very well.
*AviSynth - frame server that you can use with VDub and Tempgenc. Allows you to filter/process video before it hits the codec for encoding.
*DVD2AVI - allows you to create a project file which you can then load into VirtualDub via Avisynth, and edit to your hearts content.

Guides for VCD/SVCD/DVD editing and creation can be found at www.doom9.org. A very well written capture/video cleanup guide can be found at www.arstechnica.com...check the audio/visual forum. The latter gives an explation of Avisynth and explains basic usage.
