Well you didnt mention the type of camera you are using, some of them have a firewire or usb connection to easily let you transfer your video to your computer.If it does it probably came with software to burn dvd's with, and if none was included you might consider Nero Burning ROM, thats what I use and it works pretty well. If the camera doesnt have a firewire of usb connection then it gets a little harder. What I use is a TV tuner on my PC, it allows me to capture video from an external source like a camera or vcr to my computer. I can later burn that video to dvd using Nero.For transferring the video to vhs tape its the easiest, your vcr or camera manual should have instructions for doing that, but vhs recording quality isnt the best.
