The Ulead solution would be for a one-stop capture/conversion/authoring program.
Yes, I'd support those software recommendations. The key thing is to ensure the resulting MPEG2 file is DVD-Video compliant (which is virtually assured by using a standalone recorder), and either TMPGEnc or DVD Movie Factory 5 will not re-encode unless necessary (didn't used to be the case for DVDMF, but now they have it right).
