At the moment, I use a camcorder (yes, I know....) with a hdd , I then transfer the footage onto dvd via a dvd recorder,

Just transfer the video form the camcorder to your laptop/pc and then also create another copy on an external hard drive.

You don't have to play them ..... copy the video files off the dvds (rip them).

Not a huge chore.
