Save two copies on your D8 - this is in "original quality"
(all other methods you mentioned, except HD, compromise
quality by further compressing the video). Having two copies
permits saving the whole even if parts become damaged. If
you are using Premiere, simply play the timeline after
rendering everything, with the camcorder connected with
FireWire, with DV-in selected, and with the camera in VCR
mode, recording...
