Windows Media is just a player, isn't it??
What about Windows Movie Maker??
You can buy software for pretty cheap that will do what you want. Check Adobe Premiere Elements, Pinnacle Studio, etc.
I have Sony DCR-HC21 and like it a lot. Want an easy way to download from Camcorder with Firewire, control download through i.Link (rewinds and plays camcorder via software - very cool), allow very simple edits (add title, cut some footage), burn to my DVD Drive in such a way that the resulting disk can be played in a standard DVD player.
Windows Media does not appear to have capability to create format used by DVD (only seems to offer AVI and no MPEG which is what I think I need for creating DVD right)?
