 Most people who record in LP mode come here crying
 and regretting the decision. Good luck. You will need it.
 I have significant doubts that your experiement will go
 as well as you think.

 You need a DVD recorder with firewire input.
 I got an email from Geeks today selling them for ~$60

 If you record in real-time to DVD in the "normal" mode
 (2 hours), there really isn't any range of "quality". It is what

 I am quite happy with the several LiteOn DVD recorders I
 have bought at Costco. <$100
