I burned the DVD's direct from the camera...great tool to show people\friends anytime you want and when its cloudy out and the scope\camera can't be used. -------------------- Equipment Overload!

I record it to a MiniDV camcorder, and then later upload it to my desktop PC, where I grab still frames, like the ones in my avatar and personal gallery. I've never uploaded a video to YouTube.
