If it is under 4.38GB's then it will fit, that is unless you mean DVD Video. In such a case it will probably need converting, increasing the filesize considerably. Even at 1/4res with 25x30mins one DVD would not be enough.

Errr, wait a minute, you didn't specify that it had to be single layer, so at 1/4 res you could fit 25 30min eps on one DVD as DVD video.

Actually it is possible, just not advisable. When my brother was in Afghanistan (where they have no IP law whatsoever) he bought quite a few TV series DVDs, including entire seasons of The Simpsons (22 episodes) on a single DVD-9. The quality is lower than SVCD since they're encoded at such a low bitrate (at full D1 resolution), and if you put 25 on a DVD-5 it would be even worse (in fact I wouldn't try it without lowering the resolution to 352x240/288).

Using VCD bitrates you can get ~7.5 hours on a DVD5. I would not recommend using lower than VCD bitrates, therefor I wouldn't try and fit 12.5 hours onto one DVD5 although I guess using KVCD or some other low bitrate matrix you might get something almost watchable.

I think almost watchable is a pretty accurate description of what you'd end up with.

The Half D1 KDVD template (with tmpgenc) will get you up to 16 hours per dvdr. About VHS quality.
