I have a few questions about what you can do with a Sony AVCHD
camcorder (such as the HDRSR7) in terms of TV playback.  These might
sound like dumb questions, humour me.

1. Can the videos be played back directly from the camcorder to the
TV?  Using which types of cables? (ie regardless of quality, I'd like
to know all that are supported. ie HDMI, component, S-video, composite
etc)

2.  Can the videos be burned to regular DVD?
     a.  If so, can they be played in HD on a blu ray player from a
regular DVD (with much less capacity of course)
     b.  How easily can the videos be downgraded to play on a regular
DVD player?

MiniDV Tape Question
New SVHS player.. or not?
another dumb question
*Frame* Rate vs. *Refresh* Rate
Which format gives best, backup copies (miniDV, or DVD)
