Pick up a DVD recorder such as you see at http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=DR-RE12A

With this unit I could connect your existing camera to the DVD recorder (use the camcorder as the camera...) and press a record button.

I have that unit and it can get some 3+ hours at the next to highest number of hours per DVD and may do more.

Quality of such has been very nice.
