I use an ATI TV Wonder Pro capture card to capture video input from old videos which I play on a Video Player, to my hard drive. I use Nero to capture the video, and then convert it so that I can write the file to DVD. I have a number of older scientific videos which I can't easily replace, so I am trying to convert them one by one to dvd. Everything works ok on Windows, but I am trying to learn to do the same task on Suse. I have spent a bit of time during the last year trying to find out how, with negative results. I was able to watch the video input on the computer when I ran 10.2, but now can't get that to work on 10.3. In any event I couldn't find how to save the video to hard drive. I found a few apps might let me watch and save the video on the computer, but haven't been able to get them to work. Most won't pick up the tv input from the capture card, others won't compile, others just don't work. So if you have recommendations that would help me to accomplish my goal I would appreciate it.

I'd suggest you have a look at VLC http://www.videolan.org -> if it's able to catch your video stream, it can save it to the disc. There are many factors to chose from in what format the video is being saved, containers... close to everything is adjustable with settings.
