even if you manage to copy the dvd ram disk from the pc reader or burner to your hdd you would still have to re-author it and also try to make it ntsc compatible , so I would suggest you go have a look at videohelp.com and see what can be done after the footage is on your pc hdd

I use a dvd +RW verbatim to transfer footage from my sony 770 recorder into my pc hdd , then I re-author using TMPGenc dvd author and burn a dvdr disk , but I am not trying to make mine ntsc compatible

in the uk we can usually play pal and ntsc , but as gav says in the usa its less likely to be pal compaible so I think you will struggle to produce a disk in ntsc 60 hz mode that would play on his player and tv successfully
