You can now get a home DVD recorder.
Otherwise, to use the DVD burner on your PC, you need to have some form of video capture program or device.
Graphics cards such as the ATI All-In-Wonder series do a good job of video capture.

There are several manufacturers that have DVR machines. I don't know of any combo units that record to the dvd. It is a simple process to take a DVR and hook the A/V cables to a VCR.
For what you want you would be best with a DVR with a hard drive. Panasonic DMR-E80H is one I use. Depending on the record quality you can get from 17hrs (XP) to 106hrs (EP)on the hard drive.
Once on the hard drive you can dub to the DVD. You can put up to 6 hrs on a DVD.
If you can tell it the time frame, (I will record from 2:00 to 6:00), in advance and use the FR (Flexable Record), it will automatically select the record speed to put the time on the DVD.
I have been impressed with the quality of the DVD recording. I use it for the Nascar Cup and Busch races. I can see no degration in the 6 hours that I dub to the DVD.
I hope this has helped.
If you have more direct questions feel free to email me.
