All you would be doing is transferring to another medium that would still have to be imported into the computer for editing. Even at the highest quality a DVD recorder would introduce compression artifacts such as macroblocking due to the jittery hand held movement of a video camera and the on the fly encoding of the dvd recorder. Your best bet is to find the clips that you want to use and import them directly into the computer in an uncompressed format. You can then edit and render those clips in a much higher quality than a DVD recorder could.

Even if you just wanted to transfer the entirety of the 30 years of games to DVD I wouldn't suggest the DVD recorder route. The quality loss would be too high.
