DVD writer: Plextor PX-716A (comes with PlexTools Professional software)

DVD media: DVD+R and/or DVD+R dual-layer, they will play on computer drives and +R compatible stand-alone DVD players and by using the bit-setting/book-type feature it can be written as a DVD-ROM and be read on all +R stand-alone players and nearly all -R stand-alone DVD players (DVD-R doesn't have this feature)

camcorder: get a digital one with a 3-CCD sensor for better color and more realism from your videos (no make/model recommendation due to your ommission of a budget)

editing software: Pinnacle Studio 9 (you can later upgrade to Studio Plus)
