If you can link me to that, I'd appreciate it with points.

no right answer." - Hans von Campenhausen

This is the philosophy of my life.

Come to think of it, I've done this before (transferred MiniDV footage to a DVD). My way of going about it would be to play the MiniDV tape in any compatible camcorder which has a FireWire link to a computer. Sony call this "i-link" I think. You can use this method to transfer the raw video files to your computer and then use something like Windows DVD Maker (Vista) to burn it to a DVD (or Windows Movie Maker and a third party DVD burning solution for XP).

Alternatively if you can get hold of a DVD recorder, connect the camcorder to it using the component cables (red, white and yellow) and record the camcorder's output feed straight onto a DVD.

I hope this helps. I strongly believe that MiniDV is completely incompatible with a VHS-based VCR.

But yeah, your best options are to FireWire it into a computer (if your computer doesn't have a FireWire port you can get an adapter for $9.99 here which may or may not include a cable, but they usually do) and then use a software package to receive the footage and burn it to a DVD.

Unless you happen to have a DVD Recorder which sits under a TV.  You could use that.
