[Kwintv] Can I use KDETV with a vcr?

[Steve]

Hi;

I just installed kdetv and I am very impressed.   Please accept my 
thanks for making this nice piece of work available to the community.

I am using the latest stable kdetv with the HaugePauge TV/Radio card 
described below.

Is it possible to hook up a vcr to my TV/Radio card and watch VHS on my 
computer?

If so, is it possible to use KDETV to capture the videos I watch into 
some kind of electronic form that I can then burn to a DVD?

If these things can be done can you point me to do documentation that 
explains how to do it?

Thanks much in advance

Again, thanks for the totally wonderful alternative to xawtv!

Steve
