capture and burn movies from mini -dv

Yes, with one exception. Windows (and MovieMaker) does not have the ability
to burn to any DVD. However DVD burners usually come with their own
software... you probably have Nero Express or a version of Roxio's EZCD DVD
Creator.

Either of these will re-encode a DV-AVI file to the correct format and burn
a DVD which you should be able to watch either on your PC or standalone DVD
player.
