I'm fairly new to the DVD authoring world and I was wondering if maybe you all could give me some pointers. I can convert almost any format and have several tapes worth of Star Wars footage to get converted.

My question is what software do you guys use to capture and edit your videos? I use the software that came with my ATI 9200 All in Onder card, I don't use any filters or mastering software (any suggestions?) and I'm finding when I make my DVD using DVD Factory, I notice that I get no sound from my surround sound unless I set it to "Analogue"

I have a decent capture card and one of the best soundcards but I just need to figure out how to get the audio to digital and not analog. And would also like some advice on various filters etc to clean up video grain, washed out video etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Then I can get to work on converting my 20something tapes to DVD and share with you all.

Thanks,
Jay
