    Is there a way to do this without having to go through the PC?

    Well Yes..If you have a Standalone DVD Recorder then you can connect the Outputs from the Camcorder to the Inputs on the Back of the DVD Recorder and then record them to Disk.....

    To Do it on your PC you would need to have a Video capture Card of some sort which would Probably cost you half of what a DVD recorder will cost you but it is also More work and from what I hear DVD Recorders record Pretty good Quality but have very limited editing Features but you could allways Import the DVD"s you record from the DVD Recorder and Rip them to your PC and edit them and re-author the Files back to DVD.....

    Cheers
