Er ok. My Pc is an acer machine running windows XP home edition (from memory). The camcorder is a samsung about 10-15 years old.
I can provide exact spec when I return home tomorrow.0 -
Do you have friends with a higher spec PC?0

I could use my work pc maybe?
It runs windows 7 professional version 6.10 -
I've done this with a 10 year old Acer Aspire laptop so you shouldn't have any problems with yours if you haven't filled it with too much bloatware. A video to USB convertor is pretty cheap these days (around £20-30) and they usually come with all the software you need to create DVD's.0

Standalone DVD recorder - old models with analogue tuners can be found for buttons on eBay.
Connect output from camcorder to input on DVD recorder. Press record, and play, and wait.
The OP wants to transfer it to DVD, not necessarily to a computer.0 -
