Hi rikit,

A DVD-/+R can contain about 2 hours of good quality video and about 4 hours of VHS-like video.

There are a lot of all-in-one tools for video editing + DVD authoring on the market. They cost between 60 and 120 $. They integrate an MPEG2 encoder, but you'll get the best image quality with a standalone encoder:

- TMPGEnc DVD Source Creator (40 $)
- TMPGEnc Plus (50 $)
- CCE Basic (60 $)

If you go with a standalone encoder, you also need a video editing tool and a DVD authoring tool.

For video editing, have a look at Windows Movie Maker 2 (if you are running Windows). It's free and not bad at all.

DVD authoring tools:
- DVDAuthorGui (free)
- DVD Styler (free)
- TMPGEnc DVD Author (70 $)
- DVD-Lab (100 $)

Enjoy.
