What TTech said! I happen to use Adobe Premiere Elements 3, because I'm familiar with it and prior versions, but Windows Movie Maker does the job very well also. Just plug firewire cable from camera to PC, and turn on the camera to "play".

One interesting difference between the programs. WMM captures the tape as one big .wmv file, while Adobe captures each film segment as a separate .avi file. Either program is a simple two step; one to transfer the data to your computer, and one to burn the DVD. (Three steps if you edit the data before burning the DVD).

Unless you a much better "shooter" than I, I recommend the editing process to eliminate the wasted images that you (I) shot. Its fun to add titles, fade-ins and outs, sound track, special effects, etc.

You can use either program to burn a DVD, they both make it easy, or use any other burner program.
