You should transfer in DV-AVI if you want to edit. Because DV-AVI files are big (around 13GB per hour) this does not mean that you can not get much on one DVD. When finished editing you have to encode to MPEG-2 anyway to burn it to DVD.

Thanks for you help,another thing I dont understand is why when i have a video stored in my files and its, for example 2.1gb big and another 2gb. Add it to my burn list and it says its to big?But the DVD's that Iam using are 4.7 gb?

First of all, if you want to create a Video-DVD, make sure you are using an application that authors a DVD. Just burning an AVI or MPEG to a DVD does not create a Video-DVD, but a data DVD containing movie files.

Secondly, the term Gbyte used to describe the capacity of DVD's is defined as 1.000.000 bytes. This is different from the traditional GB based on the binary system where 1KB is 1024Byte, 1MB is 1024KB and 1GB is 1024MB. Furthermore, some capacity on the DVD will also be lost to overhead.
