Why not use the laptop's own dvd recorder? Example at http://camstudio.org/ and for the burn to DVD, I suggest DVD FLICK.
I would like to record some internet content, i have a dell inspiron laptop with hdmi and vga outs. i need to connect it to a stand alone dvd recorder that only has svideo input (the y pb pr connection did not work using a cable vga to rca y pb pr) - please help !!
