By static, I am referring to data that is just sitting there, ready to be sent to the DVD burner. A video file, stored on a hard drive, a previously burnt DVD, memory card, flash drive is static. This entire file is available immediately and is in a format that the burner can use.

Dynamic: Video data on tape must be read start to finish before it becomes a video file. Of course, you can decide how much of the tape you want to convert to a video file. But whether it is a ten second clip or a half hour long, the video from the tape is not a DVD burner usable file until the capture is complete.
