Capture your video via RCA outs from your camera, convert to .mpg movies, find yourself a nice DVD burning program, and go to town.

Are you doing this thru USB 1.1? I'm surprised that USB 1.1 could keep up with video transfer. I would have thought that it would need USB 2.0 or Firewire.
I use a DVD Recorder (Panasonic). It's simple, but expensive. It's very convenient for recording DVDs from ReplayTV recorded shows. This really rocks.
The Dazzle thing looks so cool that I would get it also, if it works with USB 1.1.
All-digital copying of video is difficult because of varying formats; the ReplayTV format is notorious. Going digital-to-analog-to-digital solves these problems easily. So, both a DVD Recorder and Dazzle win here.
