I have an 8500DV and you'll need to capture to the HDD first and then burn
the complete file to DVD. Aside from the fact that ATIs MMC doesn't provide
the ability to bun a DVD as the card records the file, the rate the file is
being created may be incompatible with a DVD RW drive's burning transfer
rate.If you cant free up 8 GB (or whatever space is needed for your DVD),
then its time to buy a bigger HDD.
