I just bought a mini dvd recorder. I am trying to find a program that will let me transfer the contents of my recordings into my harddrive. I tried some of the free ones around, but the quality is not that good. (anyvideo converter worked, but the quality of the transfered video is bad). Can anybody give me some suggestions. I need to transfer several mini dvd's into my computer so that I can edit them and make a single recording.

I'm talking about DVD's that I created with my video camera. I don't think ripping a family DVD that I recorded about my own family is illegal, right?
