Length Of DVD

[Andy]

I've just transferred 5 hours of footage from my
camcorder onto my hard drive (saved as .AVI files).
Before I put any real time into making the movie, I need
to know how much footage I'll be able to save on a DVD,
once it's authored. If it's 2 hours for example, does
that mean I'll use 2 hours of my .AVI files for the
movie, and then author a 2 hour long DVD.

Without loss of quality you're looking at about 1 hour 40 minutes on the
average DVD-R.
