You can record a VCD from iMovie via Toast Titanium.  A digital Sony 
would be recognized by iMovie when you connect your camera through 
firewire.  Analog recording requires different software with more often 
than not poor results.  The more recent DVD players recognize the VCD 
format.  The VCD format results in analog quality (VCR like) due to 
compression and does not even approach the level of a DVD .
