Burning MiniDV tapes onto a CD-R

[pete1322]

Could someone please point me to the right tutorial? Sorry if there is a simple explanation for this somewhere, I couldn't find it.

Ok, here is what I am trying to do. I have a Sony digital camcorder with firwire connection to my laptop that has a CD-RW drive. All I want to do is burn the MiniDV tape onto a CD (the CD's are much cheaper than the MiniDV tapes).

What software will I need? Is this easy to do? What file format will the digital video be on the CD-R? Thanks.
