Your camera model number would help but since it has a USB out, I am assuming it can output in digital format. That’s the good news. It will be a time consuming process but you can download your video to .avi format to your hard drive.
.avi files are huge so you will need plenty of disk space. Also, AVI files cannot be burned to DVD directly. You will need specialized DVD creating software to convert AVI to mpeg-2 fist(another very time consuming process if your computer is slow). I use the fully professional Adobe Premiere Pro cs3 for my video editing, but you should be able to find the consumer version (Adobe Premiere elements 3.0 used for less than 40 bucks on Amazon) I have never used Premiere Elements myself but knowing that it’s geared toward the average consumer, going from avi to DVD should be just a few mouse clicks.

I picked up a Roxio suite which says will do the conversion for me. Thanks.
