VCR to DVD recording using Linux

I'm trying a new (well, sort of old) thing now. I've got a bunch of VHS videos that I'm trying to burn to DVDs. Windows sort of works, but I'm persuing my interest in Linux and trying to record TV onto my computer, then burn it to a DVD. I have a WINTV-Go card as a TV tuner.
So far I have installed these:

Linux RedHat Fedora Core 3
mencoder - for recording from the VCR
transcode - for transposing to DVD format
K3b - for burning

I'll keep you posted on progress.
