I don't quite understand some of your comments. As the DVI output, are you
referring to the connection of your computer to your computer monitor? I
thought all Sony's have an IEEE-1394 Firewire port. That's what I would
want
to output video back to a camcorder. The VGA/DVI port issue would be
irrelevant as to getting video to a DVD-RW burner. Playing a DVD is
another
matter.

A lot of articles would consider DVD-RW to be more compatible than DVD+RW.
Check www.dvdrhelp.com. They have some compatibility lists, yours might be
included.

It doesn't seem to me that your video card is too critical in the
capture/creation of DVD process, only in playing video on your computer.
If
you plan to watch DVD's on your Emerson player, it might not make much
difference.

The computer has a firewire, which I will use to go from camcorder to
computer. The DVI is to get from the computer to the monitor. The computer
doesn't have one, it has only a VGA. I spent extra to get a monitor and a
cable for DVI, but my monitor also has VGA. Will I loose quality to go back
to VGA vs. DVI from my computer to my monitor.

Thanks for you reply. Your comment on DVD-RW vs. DVD+RW was very
enlightening. I will research this further.
