Digital camcorder programs

I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on software to transfer video from mini DV to a computer in order to burn it to a dvd(mpeg). i looked at some free software but it would not let me output into mpeg. any suggestions. I really dont need to edit it.

Hey Ahab! I went to videohelp.com (very helpful) and i found one proggy that converts DV. Cbyer Link's PowerEncoder (http://www.cyberlink.com/multi/download/trials_43_ENU.html). It has free 30 day trial and said it converts the DV to MPEG 1 2 or 4 :D
