Connect a Firewire (or USB, depending on your camera) cable to your camcorder.
Rewind to beginning of tape.
Open Windows Movie Maker
Import video
...
Profit

Pinnacle's Dazzle is made for that though, and mine works fairly well
it'll let you edit it before you burn it as well
(though, I've not had much success burning with their Studio 8 (version 9 might have some improvements))

your dvd burner prob. came with some sort of software to do that though
(if you dont have a dvd burner, newegg has them starting at 30)

dh hill has that digital media lab in the east wing...i'd imagine you might be able to do what you want in there
