I am considering buying a Sony RDR-HX950 dvd hard drive recorder (is this a good buy?) and I was wondering if there is any way to record the video from a camcorder straight on to the hard drive via firewire? Like not playback mode from a dv tape, but straight from what the camera is seeing. Does that make sense?

Thanks,
Aonghas

But if its got firewire, Moviemaker should capture the video. No prob at all

Whats the specs of the system?

It'll probably be better, if u get a firewire card, or firewire onboard.

Then use a video editing program like Moviemaker / part of XP / windows to transfer it to the hdd, then use something like Nerovision or cdburnerxp to burn it to DVD.
