Ok so I will get the wire, now what name brand burner should I get and what features are a must. I dont mind spending $200 or so on a good burner. I would like to get a better than average but doesnt have to be the very best.
I will probably get all this at Bestbuy so i can use my rewars card (if the stuff is there.)
Thanks again to everyone that helped out, The wife is happy I dont have to drop 800 on a new camera, More Rc money SSHHHHH Dont tell her ..LOL
Two things. First, I am not sure how well going direct from camera to DVD burner will go. You have to upload data and the burner would have to keep pace with that data throughput. Second you can by a very large hard drive to upload the data to, then you could get Roxios Toast Titanium (I think they make it for PCs too) and use it to burn the video to DVD. It will encode it for you so it should play directly on almost any DVD player. It even allows you to make menus. Then just dump the data from the drive. If you do get an HD drive make sure its at least 7200RPM.
You could get this 200GB Maxtor For $99.99 from PC mall:

and you could get that DVD drive from Tiger Direct that I link earlier in this thread somewhere, For 99.99
Plus I would take a good look at the burner drive that is built in to your system, both Maximum and I looked at the specs and it states that your computer came with a built in DVD burner, it will say on the drive door DVD writable or rewritable or both or sometimes DVD-R R/W.
Best buy should have most of this stuff or something similiar.
