Straight to DVD -Video or DVD+VR (OR) to DVD -VR?
Which one should I select from two options "Straight to DVD -Video or DVD+VR" or "Straight to DVD -VR"......I am using DVD -R Disc to be copied directly from VCR via VHS Tape?

MD, Thanks a lot for your help 
I have other problems, hope anyone could help me...
MF4 always get their windows stop responding when I clicked “Stop Capture” after they have finished capturing (composing from my video (VCR)) especially over 1 hour of capturing. I have to go to task manager to end this program. Fortunately, there is a MPEG file (about 2 GB) that have saved in their “capture” folder so I am able to get it written on DVD (I haven’t try this yet – could you help me step by step thanks). However, there is no problem with few minutes of capturing and it writes on DVD OK. It seems that there is a problem when creating a big file - I am wondering is this something to do with my RAM only 512mb or this software problem? Also there is no sound for both large and small captures. The quality of pictures reduced than it was showed on previews.
I am using MF4 Disc Creator software. I am new to this software.
Thanks for your help.

My system also will stop responding with long recording times (MF4).
My workaround is to set the record timer at the top of the screen.
That has worked better with less lockups.
Depending on your machine real-time writing to a dvd is tricky and demanding.
Using the Nero software I can record 1 1/2 hours of video direct
to DVD. It works without any problems.
I don't usually record video that way. DV.avi is the absolute Best method to
use on a computer to create video dvd's. It's the universal crosss-platform
standardized set of specifications.
So when I use a computer for video it's usually working with dv.avi Type 2
files.
For dvd creation of direct capturing (like your doing) I use external
dvd recorders that hardware encode the video onto harddisk/dvd.
They are affordable now. Panasonic is one of the best (my opinion).
Hope this helps,
MD
