Thanks for your response.

In my messages I refer to a product the manufacturer calls a DVD recorder. You referred to a DVD burner. What is the difference? Do you believe they respond to Firewire input differently?

Here’s the problem.
DVD recorder manufacturers state that their Firewire input will only work if directly connected to a DV camcorder.

They say I would not be able to record directly out of my computer Firewire port into their DVD recorder Firewire because the computer CODEC is not the “same” (?) as the DV camcorder CODEC. Is that true?

Or to rephrase the question.
Does anyone knowledgeable in such matters on this list believe that I will be able to output (or export) from Premiere via Firewire my movie through a DVD recorder onto a DVD?

I have yet to find any documentation comparing computer (in this case Premiere) CODECs to DV camcorder CODECs.

I hope this has clarified my original question.
