I spent the day xmas shopping at electronics stores and was asking/browsing
for dvd burner - Pc info.

At CompUSA, I saw a product from Adaptec which said " Record DVD from your
camera to your CDRW" !
It records it in VCD format so that it's viewable on a dvd player ! Cost
$179.
VideOh!CD is the name. They do make other versions of it too:

It was late and I didn't have a lot of time to research but from what I read
on the box, it looked pretty good.
Anyone used it before ?
With this solution, no new hw is needed: they can use what they have.
