The Biggest Factors that determine the Quality of your DVD are First the Quality and Resolution of your Source File and the Quality of the encoder and the settings that you are useing to Encode your Source Files to Mpeg-2/DVD format.....
The encoder than Nero uses is Just awefull and so is the encoder that "Super DVD Creator" uses but this is probably because these programs have very Few settings that you can use so you can get the best results....
Also Depending on the properties of your Source File would determine what settings you would use to encode the File to Mpeg-2/DVD and get the best Quality as Different Types of Files would need to be encoded Differently Like if the Frame Rate is 23.976fps then it would need to be encoded differently than if the Frame Rate was 29.976fps or 25fps also if your Source file is Progressive than it would need to be encoded Differently than a File that was Interlaced....
As you can see there is quite a Bit of Stuff that goes into getting the Best Possible Quality this is why Most Programs don"t have many Settings so they encode all Files the same way so you never get the best quality useing these Simple programs.....
For encodeing your Files to Mpeg-2 for DVD I suggest that you maybe try an encoder like "Tmpgenc Pluss/Express" or the "MainConcept Encoder" both of Which are very good Quality encoders But Tmpgenc is a Lot Slower than MainConcept....
After you have your Files encoded to Mpeg-2/DVD Format you will need a DVD authoring program that you can use to add Menu"s and Chapters to your DVD and to Format them all into a Video_TS Folder and to Burn it to DVD...I personally Like to use "MediaChance DVDLab Pro" but it is a Little Complex for a Begginer but maybe "Tmpgenc DVD author" might be more your speed.....
Cheers
PS: I can generally Fit 2 Full 90-100 Minute Movies on a Single DVD-R with very Good Quality and even up to 4 Full Movies if I use a lower Quality DVD standard....
