   Start with connecting your VCR to the Hauppauge, start with   
      
   (assuming you have built the kernel modules and loaded those, see the   
   gentoo wiki, if not)   
   cat /dev/video0 > vhs.mpg   
      
   When the play-up is finished, just ctrl-c   
      
   Use avidemux (or transcode) to cut the video into the right sizes   
      
   When you are finished, use qdvdauthor to create your DVD.   
      
      
   not really that difficult... just see to that the file format is ok that   
   you save from avidemux/transcode, just check the qdvdauthor what format   
   it likes to have as source.
