I recommend a DVD recorder, if you have one. It is quieter and will let you have your PC do what a PC is supposed to do.
Also make DVD directly instead of the hassle of making one using a PC and software applications.
The recording to PC can chew up a lot of the resources, unless you have a really good hardware.

im sure my pc will handle it, the dvd recorder was my second option i would prefer it to go to my pc becuase i intend on watching it on my pc, not to put it on a dvd, i have the space on my HDD + i have an extra 320GB HDD, so how would i be able to just record it to the pc, many thanks bro :)

Mods! Do what every new dreambox owner does, read, read, read, how else are you going to know how your dreambox works!

There is a variety of topics that handle this particular subject ...

Search for: Ngrab, VLC, NFS, CIFS and so forth,

Otherwise I would also recommend you get yourself a DVD recorder and play those DVD's on your computer
