Family asking me and I don't have a clue (no wisecracks),
and I could use a quick overview regarding DVD
recording for PC and/or TV.
I tried google but got thousand of hits - all very specific though.
Or if the wrong group, I could use a pointer.
I couldn't find anything for DVD comparable to alt.comp.periphs.cdr
Thanks for any advice/pointers

Specifically,
My brother bought a movie camera for xmas
and would like to make DVDs of camera output.
So say he records an hour worth of holiday video - now how to get it to
media?
For the moment, money not the issue, just the big picture:
First of all, how much disk space is an hour's worth of video ?
(and if - like VCRs - SP or SLP  is a concept, just pick one)
Secondly, how much fits on a DVD ?
He wants to play it back on a TV  NOT a PC.
How do you interface with it ? On a PC, I imagine there's
a utility (like EZCD), but on TV, how would you customize it?
Or can you ?

1. Do you have an output cable (USB) from camera to
PC - play it back - save to disk - make DVD ?

2. Buy a "DVD burner"  for the stereo and plug the camera
in there ? Hit Play on camera and record it to
a blank DVD there ?
3. Once #1 or #2 works, how to copy it to spend to family
all over the country ?
Do they have DVD to DVD burners for
' stereo equipment' ? (or whatever it's called these days )

Also, what is the lingo to refer to
"hooking it up as 'media equipment' " ?  vs PC hookup.
