Making DVDs

Sonic is good and most of their DVD burnign products are stable and reliable. I have tried a few that are not as reliable.

If you want to edit the stuff, add music, whatever... then you need an editor (I use adobe premiere pro, some people like Vegas Video or just go Mac). There are a number of lower end solutions depending on which way you are going. The higher end stuff will also let you encode your MPeg files yourself, which means if you only have 1 hour of video you can encode it really high quality and get a super hot looking DVD (becuase you can use most of the 4.7gig of space for that one hour, instead of for two hours that most people do).

There are also any number of packages cheap to somewhat reasonable that will allow you to pretty much burn directly from the camera, just plug it into the PC and stand back.
