I kno that Toymods is full of computer experts of some sort.
Just curious on how I would go about and what programs etc used to steps to take to turn things I have recorded on videos to DVD (using DVD burner ultimately) for safe-keeping/longivity purposes?

You would just need a video capture card that will accept a form of video in, then use any program that can take video and convert it to your chosen format, example. DVD.

Having a DVD burner on my computer, I thought I would do this, however I got the feeling that it would be cheaper and easier to take it to the pro's to just do it for me, rather than get the video card, software etc.
Not sure of costs for teh pro's to do it.

or you buy an apple
<http://www.apple.com.au/imac/>
or
<http://www.apple.com.au/powermac/>
with a super drive
<http://www.apple.com.au/imac/superdrive.html>
or
<http://www.apple.com.au/powermac/specs.html>
and run iDVD
<http://www.apple.com.au/ilife/idvd/>
to burn/create your DVD platey shows ...or simply drag-n-drop in the OS directly to make data DVDs
You can capture direcly from any video camera that has firewire interface.
Otherwise, you buy box to convert analog video to firewire. <ht.com.au> sell a bottom of the range canopus convertor for about $360, but any digital video convertor from them <www.canopus-aust.com> will do the trick.
btw: i'm not related to any of these companies, i just like using apple.
and why spend all this cash? because it works... no driver conflicts to worry about, no updates & patches to suit each motherboard, just plug it in and go ...
