Nero is excellent -- but it's for Windows.

To make a movie? You need money and talent, in that order (the latter 
being optional).

To write a movie to DVD? No, this drive should work fine with your 
machine, provided you have Jaguar or later. See 
<http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/> for details and instructions.

If "it" is the drive, no, you can't attach it to the TV to record 
movies. You can only attach it to a computer. If "it" is the Mac, the 
answer is again no; you need a digitizer or converter (which can be a 
digital camera) to convert to DV the signal provided by the TV.
