DVDs are probably more stable than a flimsy bit of tape if you start throwing your camera around, they'd be like a gyro. They're also miniature versions, not the standard full sized discs.

Calvinguy makes a very good point, DV stores data at a much higher bitrate (about 28Mbit/sec) than DVD (something like 10Mbit/sec at full rate). If you want to edit the data then you've already lost quality by realtime encoding to MPEG2.
