AV Camcorder input for Headphones and/or External Display?

Which Camcorder should I buy?

HI, I recently have been looking at HD camcorders that record to a HDD. So far I have looked at the Canon HG21 and really like it and its features.

Is memorex dvd-r compatible with a canon camcorder?

I just bought a canon dc330, and of course the manual says that I ought to use all canon accessories, but since there is such a huge price difference, I was wondering if anyone knows whether I could just use the memorex brand dvd. Also, can anyone tell me whether I can film to the memory stick in the camera, if I run out of disc space? I can’t seem to understand if the camera has “hard...
