If it's just the one... then the cheapest option would be best - which =
is
the PC USB card from MAPLINS.
You wont mind going through the whole process of burning the occasional =
DVD
once on the PC - you can always burn fat whilst you burn discs (?!).

But if your thinking longer term - decide whether you'd do more short =
edits
and multimedia work, or more actual archiving of full programs.

Short edits =3D PC VID CARD.=20
Archives =3D Stand-alone DVD recorder. For now anyway...=20

Also I haven't tried the XP MEDIA CENTRE OS or PCs but from a distance =
they
just seem overpriced for what you can essentially hash together for =
about
=A350 via USB to an existing PC.
Of course doing it all on an Apple Mac is a whole other ocean... And I =
won't
go there for fear of the great debate being resurrected!
