Answers: A faster computer would shorten the time to process/convert the video files to DVD format. But it still wouldn't help for importing the video from the camcorder to the computer - a HDD camcorder would definitely help in this area as it records file to a hard drive that's already in DVD format.
Capturing videos from tape is a time consuming process no matter which software you use. The original capture must take place in real time. That is, a tape 1 hour long takes 1 hour to play it back. But your extra 2 hours does seem excessive ---unless you need to edit the file to remove scenes you don't want. I have tried 4 different capture devices: DAZZLE 90, ADS DVD Xpress (PCI card), KWorld PCI card, and Pinnacle 500-PCI card. Studio 10 software comes with the Pinnacle card. That has been the most user-friendly series of programs so far. The original file on your hard drive will probably be .AVI format, but your computer must then convert it to some other format for playback on a DVD player. That takes nearly an hour. Finally, you can burn the DVD from files on your hard drive.
If you have a computer with a 1GHz processor or slower, the amount of time it is taking to process is about right: 1 hour to load to the PC and about 2 hours to compile and write files.
You can speed the process up by getting a bigger PC - 3 GHz with 1 Gb RAM would cut you down to about 2 hours. That's about as good as it gets with today's technology.
Going digital is not without it's draw backs.
