Compact long zoom digicam with watch-ready movie mode?

[Sossity]

I was discussing playable movie files in another section, & I thought that starting afresh thread for this might be better

can anybody suggest a good digicam with a compact body, (not too heavy/bulky in my purse) with a long zoom, 10x optical or more with a watch ready movie mode. In watch ready I mean something that produces movie files in a format that can be burned raw right out of the camera to a blank disc without needing editing, conversion container wrapping etc, to play in a dvd or blue ray player.

the watch ready movie mode is fairly important, as family likes to take movies & wants to see the footage right away. An easier movie mode would relieve me of needing to fuss with the movie files when all we want to do is see the footage, most likely it will be watched once & then the disc will get shuffled away & forgotten about.

I really don't know of anything like this. The better solution may be one of those "Youtube-ready" type low-cost video cameras.
You're going to have to pour through camera specs, and see which formats a camera shoots in.
