Use the vr mode only if you are going to edit your video using the camera, otherwise it is very difficult to edit on a computer without a lot of re-coding. If you want to transfer to DVD a real easy way is to buy a DVD burner machine that has firewire input - such as the LiteOn. You can get this at costco for about 190.00 dollars.
If you want to edit first, then you are going to need some software to get the mpeg4's off of your dvd. In this case do not use the VR mode because it codes the sound using a different method (its technical). Use your disk, in your camera, with Sony software to grab your files from the dvd. transfer them to your hard drive. You will have to buy an mpeg4 codec to see and hear your files. Convert them to a DV stream. Edit your DV stream as desired, then output video to dvd using software. re-encoding dvd requires a change back to mpeg2 file (just so you know) and ultimately to a VOB file.
Good luck to you, editing with a dvd camera is a nightmare
Your right, I did not know it does not have an Ilink cable. You will have to finalize your disk, copy the vob file onto your hard drive from the disk itself. Then rip vob file with a conversion program back into a DV stream. Yech
. Having a powerful computer will help speed this conversion up, its do-able, but requires quite a bit of time.
You need a DVD authoring sw to create a new DVD.
I recommend to use TMPGEnc DVD Author.
It supports importing your miniDVDs in Video and VR format.

Thank you all.
I am very new to this game. So, wanted some easy solution.
I am thinking of buying a DVD with firewire input. Do I still need to buy different sw to burn DVD. DVDs must be coming with the software to burn the data. And Just copy all the recorded material to DVD.
Let's see how it goes.
Thank you,
