AFAIK these camcorders record in Mpeg 2 format which is the same as DVD format. In theory you should be able to burn these straight to DVD without any further encoding. The disatvantage is in editing the mpeg 2 files, although there is software available that allows you to do simple editing without re-encoding (eg. Womble and VideoReDo).
The pros and cons of miniDV tape camcorders vs. DVD/Hard drive type have been debated many times on this forum as a quick search will reveal.
