  http://www.shop21.uk.com/en-gb/dept_93.html I have a Miglia Take 2 unit, and it works a treat. Discontinued now, but can still be purchased. Keep an eye on evilbay as you can pick one up for about £50...A firewire card and windows movie maker will do the same trick for about a tenner :thumbsup:

  Also, there are a few guys who will do it for you on evilbay (put tapes on to dvd) Email them and haggle a good price. If nothing too personal, might save you the hassle...

  use a firewire 6 to 4 pin
  that is if your pc has a firewire port
  and bring then in using something simple like windows movie maker

  Get a standalone dvd recorder, like this >http://www.ebuyer.com/product/158325

  .
  Connect camcorder via scart, yellow red white plugs, and record direct to dvd, thats what I do, then I Rip the dvd's to the hard drive for archiving, back up on dvr tape, dvd disk and hard drive, gd times.

  i don't think you will see any difference in quality between usb and firewire as all they are are methods of getting data from a to b. Are you sure that you have recorded in high quality in the first place? Bfm

  A firewire card and a copy of either Avid (PC) or Final Cut Pro (mac) tends to offer the best (affordable) results. If you want the best quality then a canopus edius capture device is easily the best around.

  USB is not the desired way to transfer DV [digital video] from your camcorder to a PC or laptop . USB is normally used to transfer photos .Some laptops have a firewire port [IEEE1394] but you can get a Firewire card cheaply for your PC including software and cable ..............where ? .ebay of course .
  Firewire does a brillient job , big files though , 12/13 Gig per hour .
  Import the file into an editor and put onto DVD .
