No, it has to be dumped first

 From my experience and what other have written the Phillips 985 is the 
way to Go (this is what i use after some research). The panasonic 
though does DVD-R the Philips does DVD+R or +RW but it plays all 
formats back.  it has firewire input  if you also need firewire output 
youll need a model like the phillips 1500 (much more $). The phillips 
is superior to the panasonic and other brands from what others who have 
owned a few different models have indicated form actual use.

You can burn live from the camcorder to DVD with this. But if you need 
DVD-R -RW formats (compatibility) then you will have to look elsewhere
