I've acquired a Mini DV camcorder which I'm very happy with and I can easily copy what I taken to conventional video tapes or copy to an SD card to load to my pc. What's the best way to convert what's on the Mini DV tape to a DVD?

I've currently only got a low spec pc (although I'm hoping to up-grade to a new pc with a much better spec after Christmas) what software/hardware would you suggest is best for this?

I've seen some adverts on the internet for companies that'll convert it for you but they seem pricey (on was £60 per tape). Have you used this method? What did you think of the quality? Was it worth the cost?

Cheers
