Use firewire and capture in DV-AVI format. If editing in
MM, then save again as DV-AVI. Import avi file into
authoring software (MyDVD, etc). Burn! On average, can fit
about 1hr (13GB) on to a DVD.

As far as I can tell from this board, the HIGHMat players
will only play the audio when saved to a CD. They won't
play video yet.
