My thoughts are that DVD camcorders are not DV. With DVD Camcorders, 
editing is much crippled in that you first have to rip the DVD to your hard 
drive, then you have to convert it to DV, then you can import it to your app 
for editing. This is MPEG 2 compressed video remember,

Not worth getting. 

Not now, probably not ever. 

My 2 cents worth.
