I recently purchased an Archos 605 with a DVR station. My main objective was to have a device that I could watch videos on and to be able to capture TV shows. After fooling around with it for a week, I have realized the 30 GB hard drive will fill up very quickly.

My project now is to record childrens cartoons and make a VCD or DVD for them to watch in the car on a portable DVD player (No Divx).

The capture that I am getting is as follows:

Video
Codec 4CC: Divx
Image Size: 640x480
Aspect Ratio: 1:1
Frame Rate: 29.970 fps

Audio
Codec: IMA ADPCM
Channels: Stereo
Bitrate: 386 kbps
Variable Bitrate: No
Frequency: 48 kHz

My questions are as follows:

1) Is this a good enough capture to have a decent quality DVD?
2) What would you recommend as the best way to create a disk with menus for a video like this? I would like to have three or four 25 minute episodes per disk. As it is now the files are around 700 mb each.

Finally, are these captures good enough for an action movie to be made into a DVD?

I would leave the files in DivX format and just burn to DVD as files.
Most newer players now support DivX files and play them back directly as they are.
Don't know about menus on them, but you should be able to just dump all the files directly onto a DVD for example and choose from players menu which one to watch, they should be listed by the tiles you give them.
If your player doesn't support DivX, then a compatible player can be found for about £20 in the UK
