Is there an easy way to add some voice commentary? I have a bunch of
video that I did on our trip to Hawaii this past January and am trying
to edit it somewhat using the software that came with the Canon video
camera.
There are times when I would like to add some explanation but do not see
any ready means of adding voice commentary. If I upgrade the software,
is that something I am likely to find on the newer versions?

A couple thoughts:
DVDs are SD, I don't understand why they'd want to upconvert and then write to
DVD, makes no sense. Besides upconverted SD looks terrible, you can't make up
data that isn't there. 720p for instance is the same frame size you'd get if
you took your SD window, turned it on its side and added two more, theres 3
times as many pixels. Better to watch the best SD quality you can get, your TV
will scale it up anyway.
If it were me I'd just run it into the computer, save it as .mp4 or .m4v, it'll
be easier to keep around, probably be able to fit several movies onto one DVD
that way and you'll be able to watch it on computers/tablets/phones etc.
Tim is right that Macrovision plays hell with this kind of thing, you can get
around it with a TBC (Time Base Corrector) but not everybody has one of those
hanging around. Most of the computer capture widgets should be able to work
around Macrovision, its an old technology...
If I weren't already equipped for this I'd look at Pinnacle Studio with
whatever hardware they're pitching today, looks like a Dazzle box. Looks like
it'll run you just over $100. That'll include editing software if you wanted to
play with home movies. Full disclosure I used to work for Pinnacle before Avid
bought us out. The Pinnacle name is now owned by Corel, I moved over to the
Avid side in 2006.At some point I gave somebody on the list (OK Don?) a copy of
Studio. I haven't touched one since v12, they're on 19 now...

Subject: [MBZ] OT: vhs conversion
What is the most cost effective way to convert VHS to dvds? This
seems to be capable of the job. Reportedly able to play vhs, convert
it to HD through some magic, then record the result on DVD.

I've heard some bad things about products from toshiba and its sundry
other brands. (Funai, etc) For $260 or less are there better
options?
Thanks
I have thoughts of someday reducing the pile of VHS tapes and
preserving them on DVD. Right after I get a round tuit, probably.
But, I can scheme...
