  RE: VHS to DVD
  Since you’re not going back out to tape you could also use the Canopus ADVC-50 which is a bit cheaper than the ADVC-100. The ADS Pyro A/V Link would work too but it has some problems capturing old tapes which ADS Tech is working on but haven’t fixed

  RE: Help In Creating 2.5 hour DVD!
  You want to use VBR to get better quality. Try the settings I suggested. This will allow the encoder to use 5000Kbps if it needs it for a scene with a lot of motion and steal from other scenes that don’t need it so the average is 3000Kbps.
