I want to buy a camcorder, but would rather buy a digital which is less expensive but more recording time and options for money. How do I know if my computer is capable of burning the downloaded info on to a DVD? I do have a dvd/cd-r drive. If not I may just have to purchase a DVD camcorder.

you need to have a cd drive that is dvd burn capable (if it can view them, and you purchased the computer recently, chances are it can burn them). but i must say, be weary of the dvd camcorders, a lot dvd systems can’t read them for some reason.

In order to download video, you need a firewire connection. You need a firewire card (ieee 1394) installed in your computer and a firewire cord (ieee 1394) to connect your camera to your PC. Then you need a DVD-RW burner. If your DVD drive says DVD-ROM, it is not a burner. If you want to edit, you need some editing software, your burner and your camera usualy comes with some software.
