Update:
I have uploaded a couple of low light videos. Results are
disappointing.

I could quickly and easily compile and burn a DVD using the supplied
ULead software. I didn't try any bells and wistles, just used the
simplest path and I was done with the production process in about 10
minutes. Burning process itself (with an 8x burner) took a long time
(unattended). DVD played fine on a regular Panasonic DVD player.

MiniDV based camcorders probably produce much better HD footage. But,
that is not of much use for me, because burning a DVD out of MiniDV
footage is very hard. I don't think I could have posted sample clips
on the Internet so quickly if I were using a MiniDV camcorder. So,
should we compromise on quality of the video or ease of sharing the
footage?
