Software needed?

What software is best for converting vhs tapes to a digital medium? I can get the vhs tapes onto the computer in a .mov format but now need to convert it to digital for dvd burning. Any ideas?

TIA!!!

Why not just copy direct to a dvd disc in a dvd recorder. It's copied in real time and is much less hassle.

Well, yes. Or capture on your PC in mpeg format and use a DVD Authoring tool which can "Smart Render" (i.e. does not HAVE to re-encode)(Ulead for example). You don't really want to encode and re-encode....this will cause losses, a reduction in PQ.
