No problem.
The DVD recorder I use is a pretty old one: a Sony DVD RECORDER RGR-GXD500. Pic:

I use dvd -rw discs from sony, and record in SP quality - gives good image quality and decent recording length.
The converter software I use to get editable/youtube files is called Handbrake:
HandBrake Great piece of software, free and has loads of presets for putting on to an ipod etc.
Its an OK setup - If i were playing in HD all the time id be tempted to get a HD PVR like joewarne has, but i only rarely get to play in HD. As the DVD recorder I have is quite old, you could probably pick up something better and cheaper off ebay/amazon.
Hope this helps.
