I need to write an application (in Visual Basic or Visual C++) that records
incoming video like a videotape recorder (or like Movie Maker),
allows the user to pause, stop, record again, playback and erase selected
tracks,
and then put on DVD the good ones. The DVD has to be seen on normal DVD
players. I dont want to use Movie Maker plus some DVD burning software
because
the application has to be very simply to use by computer non-experts.
Any hints about where to find information about how to control video i/o and
DVD burning from a VC++ application?

thanks a lot

I think its a tall order. The issues involved in these technologies are
enormous...

However you can have a head start by "standing on the shoulders of giants"
i.e. using open source projects such as

FFMPEG http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/
VPVision http://www.on2.com/vpvision/vpvision.html
