I’m not familiar with PPro2 but perhaps these thoughts will help. The overall length of your movie will help you determine if it will come even close to fitting on one DVD5 (standard single-layer DVD, holds 4.7 gig of information). The compression that you choose will effect this. Less compression = higher quality but bigger file, more compression = lower quality but better chance of fitting on one DVD5.
How long is your movie, in running time I mean?

Running time will be from 2 to 3 hours. Resolution should be the standard used in DVD videos/ movies. Is that possible? How do you go about that sort of project? I’m willing to use more than one DVD5. Thanks.

Ryan:
You have a lot of decisions to make here. If your DVD burner can burn DVD-9 your task will be much easier. When you say “standard DVD resolution” there really is no such thing. The compression you will apply to the video will be determined by the length of the video, the make-up of the video (is it a lot of interview footage without much action vs. a lot of action).
It might actually be easier for you to visit the site http://www.dvdrhelp.com and start reading and learning about the encoding process.
