Bob33,

In order to make a DVD, you must first have video editing software and DVD authoring software, neither of which are supplied with your camcorder or supported by Canon.  We regret any inconvenience that this may cause you.  In theory, once the video has been transferred, it would be a basic matter of editing and then sending to authoring software.  In both cases, prior knowledge is recommended as technical support for outside programs is not provided by Canon. 

If you have an urgent technical support question regarding the camcorder itself, please do not hesitate to contact Canon directly, through our Service and Support web site.
