Aloha kakou.
I feel guilty about going off topic, but not sure where else to get solid info. I'm thinking of getting a video recorder that records directly to disk which can be played in a DVD player. Any experience with this out there? Pro/cons? Recomendations?
Thanks, and thanks for tolerating an of topic posting

Aloha Raymond from another San Josean.
I have sent your question to a friend who lives in Florida (we've been friends since 1961 when I met him at his photo studio in Kaimuki) He's an expert on this subject.
Anywayz, if he has an answer I'll post it here.

Raymond,
What will your video source be? If a videocam, there is one that records (about 20 minutes) direct to a miniCD. Also, there are various video capture boards with Firewire, and other videocam interfaces, that can bring the video into your computer. They are not very expensive. Then there is software, Roxio has a cheap and decent one, that allows you to edit, make chapters, title, etc., and then you burn your own DVD (yes, you need a DVD burner - most are combo DVD/CD , but they have gotten cheap, too).
I have done this both with VHS tape and straight from a videocam replay. Editing takes a bit of work, as anything does if you want it to be nice, but it is easily doable. Also, remember this gets you the original NTSC resolution and aspect ratio; HD, it ain't.
