[MacDV] Standalone DVD Recorders

[Trueman H. Hight]

Do any of you have experience with a DVD standalone recorder? A 
friend of mine is a wedding vidographer and her customer wanted their 
wedding on a DVD. She ask me to do it for her.  It took me 
approximately 6 hours to do it. I was wondering if a standalone 
recorder would be quicker and easier.

Other than speed, is there any other advantage to these units?

Is there anyway recordings can be made direct to the unit from iDVD on my Mac?

Can any editing be done on these units?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
