Recording series off sattalite tv with perfect quality DVD

[WildCatRaze]

Hello
I have a Panasonic DMR - ES46V dvd recorder. I am trying to record a series off the TV in the best possible quality. The dvd recorder can record about 1 hour in XP quality.
I have been recording in XP on a dvd ram to edit out the commercials.
Is there any better way to do this? The recorder DOES had a firewire output or input.
and it does tape if that's better quality or not..

But my main concern is also want to archive them to my computer without losing any quality. I would preferably like to split them into 1 file per episode an preferably a watchable format on my computer instead of ISO,,

any tips?
